Jan, thanks so much! Those are quite possibly the best directions ever written!

Great explanation, Jan! It's very well stated, and the drawings make it clear. Thank you.

She merely puts the square down on another piece of fabric that is laying right side up, and cuts out another one the same size, making a 'X' across the block, sews it all around the four sides, and carefully clipping on the 'X' mark to open up the square within a square. No math needed. I have shown it to others who wanted to try it. Seems simple enough on the few I made.

Ok, here is the difference between laying on right sides together or cutting the next square a 1/2 inch larger. You be the judge of it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]601805[/ATTACH]The first and second way of wrong sides marked with 'X' to cut on the lines.[ATTACH=CONFIG]601807[/ATTACH]The results in same order, left was right side on right side, and cut on 'X'; the second on the right was with a 1/2 added and cut on 'X', then sewn on to each side. Starched and pressed both, neither is trimmed.

Interesting technique!
