Sketch out your design. Decide on a center design, add some borders. Remember to add 1/2 inch to the width of strips you cut for squares and borders so that you have a 1/4 inch seam on both sides. Then as you cut squares you must add 1/2 inch to that measurement because you will sew a 1/4 inch seam every time you sew blocks together, right?
Send me a snapshot of your family quilt and I'll post it on these pages.
