If you use one of the 6X6 patterns, like this one:

then each square would FINISH at .75 inch (which is 1.25" unfinished). To cut a square for a hst, you add 7/8", which would be 1 5/8" which is just nuts. If you really want to make these teeny tiny ones, I'd cut the squares at 2", then recut them to the 1.25".
I'm with you! I'd rather cut down that deal with those measurements. The block is very pretty. But maybe this is too complicated for me. Maybe I should go back to basics for a while. Thanks for the help!
