DeleteIs this cutting for the marble quilt acuquilt friendly?
ReplyDeleteIs the cutting for the Marble mystery quilt a quilt friendly?
ReplyDeleteI have a question regarding the oversized pieces. How much larger does it make the quilt? And how does it factor into design?
ReplyDeleteOversizing some of the pieces just allows the unit to be slightly oversized and then trimmed for more accuracy. This does not change the size of the blocks or the quilt. Thanks!
DeleteI have never encountered a 9 patch that doesn’t have equal sized pieces. What layout are the rectangle pieces going , up and down or crossways? I am dense and the unequal joining seams are perplexing. Maybe it’s just old age setting in!
