If including the white strips as part of the block - it can be drawn on a 9 x 9 grid.
If using the long white strips as "sashing" - then it can be drawn on an 8 x 8 grid.
If using the 9 x 9 grid -
1.25 inch strips would make a 6.75 x 6.75 block - corner square cut 2.75 x 2.75
1.5 strips would make a 9 x 9 finished block - corner square cut 3.5 x 3.5
1.75 strips would make a 11.25 x 11.25 inch block - corner square cut 4.25 x 4.25
2.0 inch strips would make a 13.5 x 13.5 block - corner square cut 5 x 5
2.25 inch strips would make a 15.75 inch block - corner square cut 5.75 inches square
2.5 inch strips would make an 18 x 18 block - corner square cut 6.5 x 6.5
If using an 8 x 8 grid -and using the white strips as sashing -
1.25 inch strips would make a 6 inch block - cut corner square 2.75 x 2.75
1.5 inch strips would make an 8 inch block - cut corner square 3.5 x 3.5
2 inch strips would make a 12 inch block - cut corner square 5 x 5
2.5 inch strips would make an 18 inch block - cut corner squarre 6.5 x 6.5
One can cut the strips any width one wants - it would depend on the look one wants - and the size of the scraps available - if using scraps.

Agreed! And that is why I adore round robins...I really enjoy solving the puzzle of how to make what I get each exchange even better going forward. Love solving the design puzzle!

Here is a pattern for this block - one or two of the snowballed strips may be a little different.

I also found a version of this at http://designsbyktgreen.com/block-si...ilt-as-you-go/
It's been interesting to see how you all go about "breaking down" a pattern. :-)

I actually made a log cabin heart quilt using 2 honey buns, so 1.5 inch, a couple of years ago. It’s a personal favorite because I figured it all out on my own! As you can see I laid things out differently.
