I make 3 versions - all have 12 squares. The largest is 6 1/2" finished squares and the smallest is 4 1/2" finished. The smallest have the centers almost touching. I found my favorite is the medium size one with a 5 1/2" finished square. This has a center space just the right size for inserting a candle or a small bowl full of treats. I also make them both with frames and without. This depends on the fabric choice. If I am not going to 'stuff' the petals, then I put some sort of embellishment over the hand tacked spot (found little firecracker buttons for the 4th of July one!). But, I leave it plain if I am 'stuffing' the petals (easter eggs on the easter one and I little mummies and ghosts for the halloween one). The medium one can be made for under $6 (without embellishments) so it is a great item for a bazaar sale (sell from between $20 and $23). When you get comfortable with making them, you can do one in about an hour - selecting the fabric and cutting it takes the most time!
