it should read 5 sets (3 sizes to be yet determined), but the other 2 sets are 9x9 and 6x6.
HTH with knowing the sizes for everyone.

Well GEE BRT...I'm :oops: now... sure glad you got to use that calendar word!
I updated you and Tuesy...so the list (hopefully) is somewhat correct anyway.
And Karen, on 12 x 12 blocks, I usually set my stitch length at 2 x 2 for the blanket stitch. You will probably want to just try it out to see what looks good. When areas get skinny, I always try to adjust the length of the stitch, so it gets smaller the skinnier the piece gets.

TY very much Sandpat! I have some very small pieces and I believe that I am going to do by hand....is there any reason that you couldn't straight stitch the rest? I am having fun learning the new machine, but would prefer to send you all better thastn I have turned out so far practicing.

HEre is my next set.....it is supposed to be a chicken in a casserole dish.....but the wild colors may not make it look like it....and the tag says : Mom's famous chicken casserole.
I still have to stitch around these gals as well. These are 12x12 finished
