According to her blog, the 3 pieces for the large blocks are 5 1/4 x 10" and the 3 pieces for the small blocks are 2 7/8 x 5 1/4". BTW - i know everyone hates to cut 7/8 increments but in this case try as much as possible to do so - if you don't you will end up with an overhang on the raw edge when you fold the triangle down.

Couldn't one do it with three 6.5 x 3.5 rectangles?

Deb I tried that size and it worked. see the pics below. Not sure how Suzanne scaled it for the smaller block but this makes a nice approx. 6.5" block when finished off. And it sure is easier to cut!
Many thanks though to Suzanne for the pattern, the tutorial and the book. it s a great block, very versatile, and goes together quickly.

Good morning Dianne! I have looked every where for this book. Where did you purchase it? I'm making a quilt with the five minute blocks but, would love this book for all the different projects.

I actually had asked Suzanne via u-tube comment if she'd tried the GO! 3.5 x 6.5 die. She said she had not and to let her know how it turned out so you might want to hop on and let her know how it came out! (My die is still in the plastic wrapper :o)

This block looks cute! I think I'll have to try it.
