That way you can add as many as you need depending on the height of the man. Add a 3 inch border around the edge and finish.
This is kinda like the idea for the hopscotch pattern, but adding the 6" blocks in between of the 'focus fabric':

I really like the rail fence, but I think the pattern on the fabric is a bit too big for that pattern itself. I know it goes together really quick. so if it's offset with the full blocks, it may look cool, especially if I carry it into an outside border, too.
