    This is what i did,. using 6 1/2 inch squares

    You can measure the print on the fabric to determine what size square would show the fabric pattern off to best advantage, then cut all the squares to that size. The corner square is just half the size (or less) of the main square, so if you cut 10" squares, the corners would use a 5" (or less).

    Here are pics of what I bought from her.

    The colors aren't as rich in these pics.

    Those fabrics are awsome. How do the prices compare to here in the USA? I can't wait to see what you make with them.
