I'm thinking about incorporating these framed pieces into a design but I want to know what the size of each frame is. The site says that the scale is:

Horizontal repeat: 14.5"
Vertical repeat 24"

So, does that mean that the repeat is from same flower type to same flower type? Or, does that mean that each frame repeats at 14.5"? If each frame is 14.5 then wouldn't the vertical repeat be 29"?

If they are showing a piece from salvege to salvege edges, the repeat would be 2 flowers from edge to edge. They would be 7.333" inches each. they look quite square. The Vertical repeat is 3 squares, Hmmmmm the Horizontal repeat is actually 5 squares because the 6th one is the same as the first.

Ok I got it.... the squares are 4.8 inches each. They are showing a piece measuring 29" x almost 20" piece.

Does this sound better?

Looks to me as if each block is about 8" square if they are showing the full width of fabric. Both the vertical and horizontal repeats look like 3 blocks to me (about 24" ).

Do you have a link to this fabric online? Or a manufacturer and name? Other websites with this fabric may have better information about it.

I have searched and look at several sites but haven't found any other information. Fabric.com has the striped fabric that goes with it and it shows a tape measure on the picture that the strips are 2" wide.

8" will be ok for what I have in mind, the pattern calls for 8 3/8" squares in the spots I am thinking of using it.

Even the 2" strips are the exact size I need for the full length vertical strips in the pattern.

I think they would be 4.8 inch for each flower frame, including a small piece of the "background"
14.5" divided by 3 equals 4.8333 inches and 24 divided by 5 equals 4.8"

Not always do they show a full width of fabric.

The piece is shown sideways. The right hand side is actually the "top" of the piece

4" would probably be ok too. I could frame them with a batik or something that coordinates with the flower.

Oh, I am usually really good at math, but this is making my head hurt. We also need to take into consideration the amount of sashing in between each of the blocks when figuring the size of the blocks. Based on Gayle's figures and the picture you have posted, I am thinking that the sashing shown is about 1/2" and that the blocks would then be 4 1/2".

Therefore, the 5 across the top row (the 6th is a repeat) would form a repeat and would measure 24 1/2" and the three blocks going down (the 4th is a repeat) would measure 14 1/2".

It is a pretty piece of fabric. If it was 8" repeat, the fabric would not be as "useable" if you know what I mean.

If they're 4.5" then I could use 4 of them in a 4-patch to make the 8 3/8" blocks I need.
