    Default I spy size ?

    What size do people usually want I spy size blocks ? I am in the process of going through my mountain of scraps, ironing ,sorting and cutting into usable sizes . I have ran across lots of scraps that would be great in an eye spy quilt and wanted to go ahead and cut these scraps up so that I can pass them on, sell or trade, I am just unsure what the most frequently used size is.

    I see swaps here on the board in many sizes. 5 inch seems pretty common. Maybe because there are so many I spy charm packs out there.

    Mine are all cut to finish at 6 inches for no particular reason than that is how I started. I also have a tub cut to finish at 2 for checker board borders and such.

    For me, everything seems to be 6 1/2"--don't know exactly why, but that size seems to fit with other things.

    I would think that any size would be okay. I just finished a baby quilt with 8" (finished) blocks and it worked out fine. With 12 blocks and 2" sashing it was a perfect size. I did add borders 1" and 3".
