Usually the blocks finish at 1- 1 1/2" about the size of a postage stamp :wink:
I have read that some are made where every block is different, no fabric is repeated. But in general I don't believe that to be so. Most of the ones I have seen are very scrappy in nature :D:D:D

I believe a true Postage Stamp Quilt is made of all 1" squares (cut 1 1/2")) because that is about the size of a postage stamp. A Charm Quilt is a quilt made from the same piece (square, triangle, tumbler, apple core, rectangle etc.) cut from all different fabrics so each piece is different.
