So what size strips do I cut to make 9 patches for inbetween them that finish either 9.5' or 10" 9 patch blocks? I am terrible at figuring out the math and I really don't want to ruin this expensive fabric I bought so if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Make it easy on yourself and make your 9 patch squares finish at 3" (cut 3.5), for finished block of 9". If at all possible, never use 1/3" or 1/6".
