Help please from the quilt math wizards here
I am designing a quilt to make next and I just can't seem to get the math right.
I made 4 Patch Posie blocks that squared up at 5". I want to set these as a square in a square, and I can get that ok. I believe these will square up at 7". I want to alternate these with a rail fence block with 4 rails. I can't for the life of me figure out what width to cut the rails so these blocks will square up at 7", too. I'm blaming the fibro fog... lol Thanks in advance for your help!! |
If the finished block is 7 inches, cut your logs at 2.25. If the unfinished block is 7 in you will cut logs at 2.125
thats 2 1/8 inches wide. Hope that works |

When I am making 2 different blocks that I want to match I get out my graph paper and draw up the finished block and then just add 1/4" all around the pieces. Good luck and please share a picture on your progress.

For progress so far, I have all the rails cut and am sewing them together. I also cut the squares that will go around the 4 patch posie blocks. You can see in the photo how it's sort of going together; the rail fences and the square in a squares. [ATTACH=CONFIG]606879[/ATTACH] |
