6 1/2" blocks, 24 total at the completion of step #2 (each block is made of two, half-square triangles,fabrics 'A' &'B' )
there are many ways to make half-square triangle blocks...
and many ways to use them in many different patterns = fun

I have my blocks made, and some trimmed to 6.5", but no pics yet. I was very busy all weekend sewing the binding on the MONSTER. I call it Fishing in the Dark and it measures 106" x 123". The LAQ named it the monster and said there seemed to be no end to it. Here is a couple of pictures. I will post it in the pictures once I can get a full picture of it. First one is sewing on the binding. Second is 1/4 of the quilt on a twin bed.

Yep, Sunliten, fer sure my ADD is undiagnosed, but present! 6 1/2" finished blocks! Yes! That's what I'll do when I get my head straight. Might be waiting awhile. It's five o'clock somewhere,right? Maybe a Margarita would help! Or if I wait until Happy Hour, I could have two and then it definitely won't matter. Oh, yeah, maybe it would matter on Saturday when we get the next step. Until then, playtime!!!

I agree, that is one big quilt. I am impressed and liking it. Good work dungeonquilter. Was the quilt planned to be that size or did it just grow like some of my quilts?

Gee thanks for straightening me out. Now my back hurts from all that straightening. You gals have such an imagination I thought I would throw one in too. I now know to cut my blocks 7" and trim to 6 1/2". It was to simple that is why I could not figure it out. Again thanks a lot. I will bring a special treat tonight to the ladies that helped me, how about home made chocolate covered cherries. Of course there is no calories in these.

I planned the center to be the size it is. The borders are much wider than I originally planned. I had fabric left over, and just decided to keep adding. It got a bit finicky with the fishes in the border, as I had just enough length and was mitering them.
