Foundation Blocks
Basic Patterns
Important
All foundation block sizes are finished sizes. The foundation should be printed out
1/2" larger to include the 1/4" seam allowance on all sides of the block.
To be sure that a block finishes at the correct size, test the printer before
printing out the foundation. By altering the scale option of the page setup available on many computers,
blocks can be printed out in a large variety of sizes. Don't be afraid to experiment.
