Yes, she makes them bigger because you need to cut them down to size. Just don't forget to square the half square triangles up, trim down, before sewing them together. I now have a big stack, 12, of very large birds in the air blocks for the Underground Rail Road quilts I am making. I think I will sew all those large blocks together into a small birds in the air quilt and make a stack of new Birds In the air blocks for the Under Ground Rail Road quilts I am making. :shock: :oops: :roll:
