As promised in episode 4 of my podcast, here is Just Plain Jane Quilt's tutorial for perfect scant quarter inch seams. Check out Jannie's blog for more great ideas and tutorials.

The block is 9 inches square.

Photo 3: Place pins where the horizontal and vertical lines cross (center lines is a cut line).


Photo 4: Stitch lines should be where the drawn lines were.

Photo 5: Notice the center 9-patch block is within the measurements.


Photo 6: Continue adding to the center block.
