How do I measure the squares to fit? Ex. their sq.: 11 1/2" sq. in middle and 3 7/8" sqs. around the outside. Can anyone give me the measurements to do these two squares of 6 and 8"? Help ........

Hi there! This is how I counted it, plese Ladies correct me if I'm wrong,
The original block is actually 12 1/2" ( 11 1/2 + 1/2" border, finished). For an 8" center cut your small sq's 2 7/8 to make 2 1/2 HSQs to finish 2"when sewn together. DO NOT forget your seam allowance in your center 6's and 8's!
For 6" center block you'll want 1 1/2"finished hsqs (cut 2 3/8; I would cut 2,5 squares and square to 2" unfinished. (4 x 1,5 =6). If you still want the border around your center you substract the 1/2" from your center and add 1"cut border strips to get back to your center sq size.[/quote
