Mary;
Thank you so much for your help. Your answer was what I needed to help me figure out what I want to do. Looking again at the pattern that called for the 1.5 inch strips that made the finished block 7 inches, that was with a finished 1 inch center block. So if I use 2.5 inch strip with a 2 inch center block that should make the block 14 inches am I right? I like your advice about finishing one and seeing how that looks.
Thank you again for you help and for the website. I have booked marked it for future reference.
Sincerely,
Penny
