What are the measurements of those pretty rectangles?
Layer cakes are 10" square precuts. So by halving them, I had 80 blocks 5"x 10" before any sewing. To offset every other row, I started the odd rows with a half- or 5" square- and ended with a half on the even rows. That gave me the brick laying effect. Inner border was 2.5 inches, outer border was about 11" trimmed down to 9.5" after quilting. Could have had a few more inches in width for a bedspread.
