The 9 inch finished size is once it is sewn into the quilt. Once you make the block, it should be slightly bigger than 9 1/2. Square it up to exactly 9 1/2 and then once sewn into the quilt it should be 9 inches. If this is not the case, I'd like to know so I can fix it. It has been a year since I made this particular block, but I think I am remembering this correctly.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11702974771630251063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3809971886851305429.post-46576126600901530132021-04-04T16:59:00.423-06:002021-04-04T16:59:00.423-06:00So I am making this block, but so many tutorials h...So I am making this block, but so many tutorials have you cut the squares to 3-7/8" and 9-7/8" measurements, which will make me crazy. I was happy to see your tutorial in whole numbers. I'm assuming when you say this makes a 9" block, you mean finished, and an unfinished block would be about 9-1/2" and could be trimmed, which I like to be able to do. I've made some of the 7/8" trials, and they don't leave much room to square up. Am I correct in this? (Still learning). Thank you for your tutorial.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210404703552556021noreply@blogger.com
