Yes, measure the size of the finished block, divide that by 2 and add 1/2inch. In this case the rectangles are 5" finished, so 5 divide x 2=2 1/2 plus 1/2" = 3" squares to make snow ball corners. The rectangles are cut 5 1/2" x 6 1/2" and the side strips are cut 1" x 6 1/2" That is 48 x 60 with 8 blocks across x 10 down.
