Hi Everyone,
My name is Holly, and I will introduce myself in more detail soon. I have just a moment. I am new to quilting....actually second time starting to quilt since ten years ago. Although, I am not new to sewing.
I found a really nice 40 piece layer cake squares at a local quilt shop. The name of the fabric is Swiss Chocolate. I was just about ready to cut the squares and measured them, and I noticed that they are only 9 3/4 inches instead of 10 inches. The pattern that I want to use is the Double Slice Layer Cake Quilt. It is cut into two pieces....one 3 1/2 inch cut and one 6 1/2 inch cut. I was afraid to cut it until I find out if the issue of the square being 9 3/4 inch instead of 10 inch would make a big difference. If not, should I cut a 3 1/2 inch square or reduce it down to 3 1/4.
Please let me know what you think. I look forward to reading posts within the forum and learning. I am a former candle maker, and I am very familar with what can be learned in an awesome forum.
Thank you!
