Thread: 10-Minute Blocks?

I just purchased the book "10 Minute Blocks" by Suzanne McNeil, and would like to know if any of you have used this (3-Seam Square) method. I'm interested in using this, but would like to make the main blocks small. Thanks for any imput.

I love the block. I made this a couple of weeks ago. It's at the LAQ'r now.

You can make them any size. Just make different sizes until you find the size you like. There was a post on here with three different sizes. I'll see if I can find it.

For the 10 minute block, all the squares are cut the same size. Just pick a finished size you want for the entire block, and divide by 4 for the individual square size (don't forget to include seam allowances in your math.)
