disappearing 4 patch question
#1
I want to try the D4 patch using 6 1/2 inch blocks made into 4 patch instead of 5 inch blocks because I want to cut them with my Accuquilt cutter. What would the distance from the center seam be using the larger block? 2 inches instead of 1 1/2 inches? Thank you for the help

Ok, I just read this. I didn't realize the cutting had to change on different size blocks. Dumb question but what happens if you just cut 1 1/2 in on any size blocks in the 4 patch? Why does it not come out right?

I just finished all my blocks using 6 1/2 in squares to start with. I cut 1 1/2 in from center and they seem to look great. Hmm, just wondering because I am teaching our guild Mon night how to do this.
:roll:
