All I have is girly stuff!
Finished strip size is 2". Each small block is 2x2. Notice the small block pattern is 7 squares by 7 squares. Different from some double Irish Chains of 5x5 squares blocks....
The large blocks are 10x10 with a 2 inch border around them (includes the last 4 blocks of the design. So each "block" is 14x14. There are 30 blocks, 5x6 for a queen sized quilt.

I can't wait to see your Triple.
