"I enjoyed making this block--but was dismayed to find that it measures 11 1/2" rather than 10 1/2". When I added up the cutting measurements, they do total 11 1/2". Surely I'm not the only one to notice this. An easy fix would be simply to correct the "Notes from Melissa Corey" text. It looks as though updating the cutting instructions would be way too complicated. Your thoughts? BTW, I checked the Have not made it box in order to submit my question there seems to be no place to enter my rating otherwise -)"

Greek Cross Quilt Block

"Learn how to sew a Greek Cross Quilt Block during week 3 of our Spring Block of the Week! This easy block is perfect for a beginning quilter!! Also learn a technique for making squares out of strips of fabric within this week’s block!! This quilt block has a cute little cross in the middle! Webster’s definition of a Greek cross is one has an upright and a transverse shaft equal in length and intersecting at their middles. I’m sure that’s how this block got it’s name! Some of the other names for this block are Churn Dash, Double Monkey Wrench, or Grecian Square. These blocks are all made up of the same square, strip blocks, and half square triangles. But depending on where the contrast of color is, the name is different!!"
