Starch will help tame the triangle bias.

What a great group quilters are. So many helpful suggestions. Even though I might not be making a particular pattern I always learn something from all of you.

For instance the larger square points are at the halfway mark on the sides and top of the square (4.5 inches). Hopefully someone else will come up with a better answer, but the gaph paper is the way I would do it.

Hey Dianne! Would appreciate that :) I'm trying everything that everyone here has suggested - I figure that I'll get it right from at least one!

This is my first time at this forum and I am blown away by the support I've received! Thank you so much!!!!

And here's a second version that was in Blockbase (an add on to EQ) that is called Four Points. It's just slightly different.

I'm in a mathematical dilemma!
I'm trying to make this quilt: http://www.quilterscache.com/F/FourPointBlock.html But I need to make finished 9" blocks and not 8" ones - any suggestions on how to resize all the measurements? Or better still, any place I can find the measurements for this please please? My brain is about to explode trying to work it out!!! Print out the templates at 112%. Make a practice block. Should give you a 9" finished block. |
I really dislike working with 1/16 measurement. I would just make the 8" blocks and add an extra border to get the finished size that I want.
|
I would cut the a and b blocks for the pattern the outside blocks a 1/4" bigger and trim the blocks to the exact size which is 9-1/2" unfinished. Great blocks. Luann

I know you can do it with all the great gals here on the board, just remember your seam allowances
