The blocks finished are 4 1/2 inches. Some of the diamonds on the quilt forming the borders have 72 pices in them. So paper piecing is a must on some of these blocks and that's where I will need help. I think I will hand piece mine. When I got my Blocks of the Month thru Stitchin Heaven,they came in packages with which blocks to do. They are not done in a secquence like 1 thru 221. I think the quilt has 221 blocks in it. But this weekend I will look thru my book and the software and let you know what I find out. And I think we need a name for the group too.
