I'm using an 6 inch block of this one.
I'm just cutting the blocks out now till I get a machine to sew them.

I have a few sewn till it bit the dust last week.

Yes, the blocks finished at 8 inches (trimmed size, so guess the actual finished size would be 7.5 inches.

That's what I was thinking! I had the actual block in mind, not sewn together so you figured out what I was trying to say! :thumbup: DH seems to like it so I might end up doing a king size with them... I have had a hard time finding something that he liked that would be simple enough for me to want to make a bunch of!

None--I think if the blocks are all the same size, any size would work.

I had not noticed that it made a bow-tie. Thanks for pointing it out. I had run out of matching blocks of fabric and was using 2 colors just to get enough blocks to finish the quilt top!
