02-16-2026Hi everyone.
I would like to make this 16" block from Quilters Cache http://www.quilterscache.com/P/Phila...entsBlock.html
I get the first three directions for cutting out strips of fabric in three colors. The next part reads as follows:
To speed piece the half squares, stack the Color 1 and Color 3 4-7/8" x 9-3/4" strips right sides together and all edges aligned.
Well, the first three instructions never call for any of the strips in this size. What am I missing?
Thanks, Pat

The instructions could be a little plainer. If you are going to sew the half square triangles individually, they size is given at 4-1/2. When you are speed pieces all in a row, you need to change the 4-1/2 to 4-7/8 so you can sew the 1/4 inch seam and then cut between them.
