I don't think I understood the original post correctly - and sewbizgirl and Jennifer23 did -
What I think was meant - wanted the "unfinished" 9-patch units to be 5 inches square - to go with her 5-inch charm squares.
Might want to verify the measurements of the charm squares before getting too far into the project.
