For some reason I think these are illegal as Disney would never allow it's designs to be sold like this.

I rarely make a block larger that 9" finished.
My Burgoyne Surrounded (which has more pieces than I care to remember) is a 17" block.

OOPS! you are talking only about 4 squares put together, aren't you?
In some block collections, a 4 patch is any block that has 4 squares across and 4 squares up and down-----------total 16 that themselves might be any number of pieces.

You'd keep a 4 patch at 6"? Why so small?

Yup, 4 squares to the block.
Have done several 16s. I cut those pieces 2 1/2" and I sash the blocks - winding out with a 10 1/2" square (unfinished).

Be very careful.. Those look like trademark designs. My guess is they are not in the USA . I was hassled for a long time for buying some. I was unaware they Were illegal.
how did you get hassled? did the company notify you or what? thanks Rita
