The 9" squares become those smaller squares that you see scattered through the quilt. <br /> They start out larger because each time they get turned into a triangle, the seam allowance makes the finished square shrink a bit. So those squares destined to become the smaller triangles start at 9", then get trimmed to 8 1/2" inches as half-square triangles. Then those 8 1/2" HST blocks get combined with a whole 8 1/2" square and become a blog with one side HST and the other side two quarter square triangles. The blocks in the end will all be 8" before sewn into the whole quilt. Make sense?Polly @ Pieces by Pollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14007874028607140568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8704676634793122235.post-40381292137523839272017-11-17T07:59:31.263-08:002017-11-17T07:59:31.263-08:00Love the pattern but I have a question. one step ...Love the pattern but I have a question. one step states to square block to 8 1/2" and the next one states to square to 8".
