Help!! I am confusted ( Math)
HI,
I am working on a wall hanging ( sampler) for a new cafe' in town here which will open up on Friday. I picked out my own blocks (9-12" blocks with stashing) and fabrics that will blend in with the Cafe' colors. and one of the blocks that I picked out from quilterscache I am stuck on, It doesn't have what size to cut everything down too. ( does have templates, but I think my printer printed them out too small or something) I think, but I am not sure if I am correct. and I have already wasted 2 cuts of each fabric trying to work this out on my own.. So now I need help, While I wait on a reply, I will move on to the next block and work on it. the corner squares needs to be 4.5" x 4.5" the center square needs to be 3.5"x 3.5" the Center Rectangles needs to be 5" x 1.5" and I think I can use the corner squares cut into 4ths for the triangles. The pattern is here http://www.quilterscache.com/A_C/Bra...nTwoBlock.html please help, I need to get on too the rest of the blocks, because I also have curtains I am going to make for them before they open on Friday.. I think I might have bitten off more then I can chew this time. and to top it all off, Today I took sick with fever -- Christina Hilburn Web Site: http://gardenbreeze.us Gardening Photos from 05 : http://gardenbreeze.us/coppermine/index.php Quilting Photos: http://community.webshots.com/album/93297866rHRctE |

This needs to be bigger to allow for the seam allowances. Finished size of 4" + 1 1/4" = cut a square 5 1/4" and then cut diagonally to make four triangles. marcella The pattern is here http://www.quilterscache.com/A_C/Bra...nTwoBlock.html please help, I need to get on too the rest of the blocks, because I also have curtains I am going to make for them before they open on Friday..

The pattern is here http://www.quilterscache.com/A_C/Bra...nTwoBlock.html I usually use Netscape as my browser, but have found that I can't print accurate templates from Netscape. I have to use Internet Explorer. Might that be your problem? Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://webpages.charter.net/jaccola/ |

Now how do I add the 1/4 inch on them? I cut the templates from freezer paper, without a seam allowance. I pressed the paper on to the wrong side of my fabric and cut 1/4" outside the edge of the paper. I left the paper on and stitched the edge of the paper. You can use pins to help you get the paper edges lined up. I used a ruler (put the 1/4" mark on the edge of the paper) & rotary cutter to cut the fabric; it's a bit easier to get everything lined up right if the seam allowances are precise, but it's not necessary because you are using the edge of the paper as your stitching guide instead of the cut edge of the fabric.
