Sunrise: I did the same thing with 4 inch squares because I have lots of them and couldn't see spending extra time cutting 3 1/2 inch squares.
I, obviously, didn't follow the directions as far as small prints because I have some plain squares and larger prints. I even wrote 'small prints' in my notes! The funny part is that I ALWAYS expect students to follow directions! I guess I'm a bad example.
