And scroll down to the last post. It says "rotary cutting directions" or something like that and has a "download" link beside it, click "download' and it will download it for you.

ACGE - wow those are beautiful. And your points are perfect. I am pretty new at this so struggle with poinst - but I figure practice makes perfect - so forge ahead!
Someone said that fininshing is more important than being perfect.

Of course they are rotary cut. I'll give you a hint on the cutting. In a seam there are 2 threads + the fold. That takes up space from the 1/4 inch seam, so I ALWAYS cut my pieces a few threads larger and sew a scant 1/4 inch seam. Very rarely do I have a problem. I also measure often and use a slotted 1/4 " foot with a guide so I can make needle adjustments.

Wow, now I am going to have to give this a shot...do the 2 threads and the fold come close to 1/16th of an inch? It makes sense that we need to compensate for the fold when we press it back over the seam line....I have had problems in the past with block size....I am going to give this a try....thanks for the inspiration and for the tip....
WVDEK and Debo---I really like the color choices....
