Thank you all. I was glad to help you.

Thank you, was wondering if you can get what you need out of the four blocks (2 solid, 2 print) and it looks like you can. Cannot wait to try it.
|
Yes,the four blocks are sewn together to make one 8 1/4m inch block.
|
Correction..I meant to say one 8 1/4 inch block
|
Thank You

Questions:
1) After the four light/dark units are sewn together, each of them is approximately 4.5 x 5 inches? 2) When I make the "pinwheel" - I line up the seams in the middle and the outside edges will be uneven? 3) I trim the sewn block to the proper size after it's assembled? I noticed you are using squares with pinked edges. How/where do you make the seams? (I guess the "how" is - with a sewing machine, duh!) I don't know exactly how to word the question - how far from the edge of the pinking do you sew? I can never decide if the outermost V or the inner V or the middle of the V's is what to count as the "edge" of the fabric. |
Lay the four sections out and after yousew the white side to the printed side,you cut 1/2 inch off the top.You do this to each one before you sew all four of them together.Then after you get all 4 of them formed to make a block,you cut that block down to 8 1/4 inches. You sew the top two together and then the bottom two together and then you lay them face down on each other and sew straight across to join them together.Like a four patch.I just line them up and sew 1/4 inch seams even though they are crimped on the edges. I just set my pressure foot down and sew where the 1/4 inch seam is. Hope this helps. If not ask me again.

Each little square will be 4 1/2 x 4 1/2 inches after you trim that 1/2 inch off the top of each one.
|
Why are they trimmed to 8-1/4 inch blocks? instead of leaving them at 8-1/2 inch blocks?
Because that's what the pattern says? (I'm very "literal" when it comes to reading patterns. Which is why I'm a good "tester" for them.) |
