The block I have has a fall design on it of pumpkins and fall fruits. The size of the block with the added 1/4" seam allowance total is 10 3/4" by 7 1/2 ". I had thought about putting a border around the block to see if it would work out better. If I have a chance tomorrow I will take a photo of the block and post it so you can see what I am working with.
