The blocks are 24" x 12" - I had to buy the red fabric, but had the printed fabric at home. I originally was going to use purple and turquoise instead of red, but when I got it all cut out and laid it out on my bed, it was just TOO much. The quilt is 96x96 however I miscalculated and should have had one more row of 12 x 24 blocks. Oh well.
