Need help with Happy Hour by Atkinson Designs
#12
Ok...I'm sitting here looking at the book and there are 2 different block sizes. There's a 9" finished block and a 14.5" finished block.
The 9" block contains (1) 5" x 9.5" rectangle, (2) 2.75" x 3.5" rectangles, (1) 2" x 9.5" rectangle, and the center rectangle is 3.5" x 5"
The 14.5" block contains (1) 8" x 15" rectangle, (2) 5.5" x 4" rectangles, (1) 2.5" x 15" rectangle, and the center rectangle is 5.5" x 8"
But are you doing the blocks that just have 3 pieces total? There are several patterns in my book...

The finished measurements for the sections of the
9" block are 4.5"/3"/1.5" and the
12" block are 6"/4"/2".
However, what your fabric was/is cut for is another matter. :mrgreen:

are you sure 1.5 is right?
.... thinking 2.25...
unless you meant all pieces laid together unsewn, then those 1.5 works
