I saw a picture and then came up with my own variation. I started with 5" squares of all the batiks and 1" x 5" strips of the light grey. Cut each 5" in half and inserted a grey strip between them. So you end up with 5" unfinished blocks, (4 1/2" finished). Assembled those into rows. Because I offset the rows from each other, on every other row I had to add an extra batik section at each end. Those pieces were cut 5" x 2 3/4"

Mine was 13 rows with 11 squares in the "odd" rows and 10 squares plus 2 special end pieces in the "even" rows.
so it came out somewhere around 49"x59"
