I'd bump the squares up to 5" so I could use charm packs and increase the 1.5" pieces (both shadows and spaces) to 2.5". That would give finished squares of 8.5". I highly recommend drawing it out to see if you like the proportions of whatever measurements you are thinking about. I've done several dimensional quilts based on Colleen Wise's techniques...similar to this but with floating pyramids, not flat squares.

I only increased the side pieces width a 1/4" to keep them proportionate.
The cutting guide is attached as a pdf :D:D:D

the top and bottom sashing pieces would be cut 1 3/4" X 5 1/4"

Amma, bless your heart! That looks great...and perfectly proportioned. I have often thought about getting the EQ program, but wondered if I was computer savvy enough to make it work for me.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

If you want each block to be, for example 12" mark out a 12" square on a piece of paper you can then fold the paper into thirds, quarters, fifths, ect Draw out the design, add 1/2" for your seam allowances. Hope this helps. I have done some very complex paper pieced stars this way.

You are very welcome :D:D:D
It is very easy to do this in EQ... it is some of the other things that can get a little tricky :wink: drawing a block, or changing it's size is all in the first few lessons :D:D:D
