Metric Conversion Table
Converting inches to centimetres
When I first launched this website, I tried to give all the measurements in both metric and imperial. I was quickly informed that I was confusing everyone, so I began to use imperial measurements only. I am aware that some of you would prefer metric, so here is a conversion chart.
| Inches | Cm | Inches | Cm |
| 1/8 | 0.3 | 3.0 | 7.5 |
| 1/4 | 0.6 | 3.1/2 | 8.7 |
| 3/8 | 0.9 | 4.0 | 10.0 |
| 1/2 | 1.2 | 4.1/2 | 11.2 |
| 5/8 | 1.5 | 5.0 | 12.5 |
| 3/4 | 1.8 | 5.1/2 | 13.7 |
| 7/8 | 2.1 | 6.0 | 15.0 |
| 1.0 | 2.5 | 6.1/2 | 16.2 |
| 1.1/8 | 2.8 | 7.0 | 17.5 |
| 1.1/4 | 3.1 | 7.1/2 | 18.7 |
| 1.3/8 | 3.4 | 8.0 | 20.0 |
| 1.1/2 | 3.8 | 8.1/2 | 21.2 |
| 1.5/8 | 4.1 | 9.0 | 22.5 |
| 1.3/4 | 4.4 | 9.1/2 | 23.7 |
| 1.7/8 | 4.7 | 10.0 | 25.0 |
| 2.0 | 5.0 | 11.0 | 27.5 |
| 2.1/4 | 5.6 | 12.0 | 30.0 |
| 2.1/2 | 6.2 | 13.0 | 42.5 |
| 2.3/4 | 6.8 | 14.0 | 44.0 |
It is not exact, because that would have meant going to 2 decimal places, but I hope it is sufficient for most quilters' needs.
