I used charm packs. But I think you could use any size. Let us see when you get done. I love the pattern!!

I used 5 inch blocks and my final block was 13 inches square. My avatar shows the finished queen size quilt made with these blocks.

I just started one and am using 4 1/2. Decided to go smaller because of the way I want the solid color to look when I cut and re-piece it. Think a lot depends on the fabric you use. This one is just two - a flower and a solid.

The 6" one I saw wasn't as effective
I use 5" and 4" patches

This is great info! Thanks so much!

Scroll down. you'll see it.

After looking at the 3 fabric d9p, I tried to find any info on the sizes that the pieces were cut, any idea? I'd like to try one.
