The four squares that go into each block began as 8 1/4" squares; the four little 'windows' began as 2 1/2" each.
Finished block is 7 3/4". I was using handwritten notes that gave no dimensions so just guessed at a size. I now know (or think!) that 8 1/2" initial squares would've resulted in 8" block....
Machine pieced & quilted each block before assembling into rows & then sewing all together. Some experienced quilters told me I didn't need to add batting & backing since each block is four layers of fabric thick, plus the little windows. That was a relief!
I'd never tried any kind of quiltmaking and had no idea how much I had to learn!
