In doing your calculations, remember the seam allowances ... so your 6" squares would sew up as 5-1/2" and wo with an 8x8 block format, that'd mean your tabletopper would be 44" square, unless you added borders.
In reality, you can make your squares/HSTs as large or small as you like!
Carpenter's Squares can look really sweet done with 1-1/2" blocks!!!
