ps.to my wifee...see I ca admit when Im wrong!
Your wife will be happy you can admit you're wrong. Let me tell you, its very, very seldom I can get my hubby to admit he's wrong.
Anyway, thank you David. I did put together one block splitting the pattern in half on the diagonal and adding a 1/4" seam to that cut line on both halves, and I ended up with a perfect 6-1/2" block. Now I need three more, but they will have to wait. DGS has a birthday in three weeks and I have to get his quilt finished.
One suggestion: if you are concerned about your block not being quite large enough, just extend the dark blue pieces on the outer edges a bit which will give you a little leeway for sizing up your block.
