I can certainly add 1/4 in to the smaller strips. I have to mark that on my ruler with a postit or I'll forget. The focus fabric pieces will be cut at 6 1/2 inches. I've already measured out and figured out how many strips sets I need to get enough blocks for a 50 inch or so square quilt. I know it'll make the quilt wider and longer. Less having to worry about a big border. It's going to be really cute.
