Thanks! :-D
Squares are cut at 7", so with a 1/2" seam, finish at 6". Batting is cut 5.75". I love them because they are as close to a hug to go as one can give, and when it's done--it's done--no sandwiching, quilting, or binding. :thumbup:

To rag it doesn't hurt my hands much at all...I first cut all the corners up, then I lay the quilt on the ironing board with a seam laying toward me--and cut it from right to left (I'm backwards, I know), then pull it up to the next seam. Once one side is done, I turn it and do all the rows going to other way. This one took awhile, but my hands didn't hurt, except when I have to use the ends of the scissors in close spots.
