Why do I cut the batting square a smaller size than the drawn square and the interior square?
Cut your batting 11 1/2″ square. The batting square is smaller to compensate for the fabric taken up in folding and in the seam. Cutting directions are found on page 29. What are scallops and when are they added? The curved edges of the quilt are the scallops. These pieces are added to the blocks in a similar fashion to the way the blocks are joined together. When we make a wedding ring, we choose to do the scallops first. Although this is our preference, you may find it easier to learn how the blocks are assembled before trying the scallops. You’ll find the scallop instructions on pages 33-36, and block assembly on pages 37-40.
