Quilts from El's Kitchen
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2013 5:31 am
We are using your book, Quilts from El's Kitchen, for next year's BOM at our Quilt Shop. In making the sample, I am having difficulty with page 126, the Crab Apple block.
It says that the 9-patch block should measure 4 3/4". Mine came out to 4 5/8". When I do the math using your cutting instructions, 4 5/8" is the correct unfinished measurement.
This particular block is very dependent upon accuracy. I just wanted to know (before I proceed any further) if I should change the cutting dimensions for the 9-patch or the cutting dimensions for the background fabric.
