    Sorry forgot to answers this question. I used my 11 1/2" square template for the foundation piece. And as far as the size it will be , Im justing adding another square until I get it the size I want. So it will be a queen size with probably a sash around and the binding or maybe just the binding , Ill have to wait and see how all the squares turn out. You could do the squares in any size, what ever you prefer.

    Oh and one more thing. When I cut the foundation peice, I then took my ruler an placed it in the left hand corner and went straight to the opposte corner (with a pencil),and my first piece I placed on the line and just kept going. When I got to the end of one side I turned it around and did the other side, I laid all strips out before I sewed so I could adjust the colors if need be and thats how I got the lines so straight. Sorry this is so lengthy I NEVER had anyone ask me how to do a pattern. New to explaining.

    Thanks for your explanations and the *site*.
    Will work on the colors soon. (I find this the most difficult part.)

    I'm definitely going to be watching the progress on this one. I love string quilts.
