Gail,
I don't know exactly what size the blocks were, but you could make them any size you want. There is a pattern called, "Birds in the Air". that has a triangle for 1/2 of the block and smaller triangles for other half.
Your could use strips on that half, instead of the smaller triangles.
Just sew different colored strips together and then cut a triangle from that piece to fit 1/2 of the block. Hugs to you, hope you feel better. Meds are a two sided coin, aren't they?
