Someone please tell me who came up with a SCANT 1/4in. seam? I bought a pretty quilt top from a lady. While ironing it I noticed a few seams that were not sewn together. I looked and she really took a scant seam to extreme. Log story short I had to resew about 50 different places... Geez
Holy Moly Batman and Robin... I will never use a scant 1/4 seam ever again. lol

Tell me about it, and lived through the experience too.
If in a block swap, then by all means my 1/4 seam is relevant to the pattern directions, but for my projects now, I am using a tad bigger than the 1/4" seam to avoid ripped seams.
IMHO; It's better to make the seams a tad bigger just in case.
