MEASUREMENTS NOTE

Imperial measurements (inches and yards) are included in each block as per the designers preference. Converting projects to metric could interfere with the accuracy crucial for most patchwork designs. Use the measurement system stated within the project you are working on; where both imperial and metric figures are given, choose just one set of measurements and use that consistently throughout the project.

Press the seams open and trim off the corners ().
