Teen and Macybaby,
All I can say is Wow. Your blocks are awesome and what amazes me is how quickly you are putting them together. Beautiful!

One of the things I don't like - the instructions never give you a "trim size" for the intermediate pieces. it will say to take a 3.5" square and cut it diagonal twice, and then to make HST with them, but does not tell you want the UF size of those HST should be.

I have a chart that shows what the UF size is based on number of rows in a 6" block.
2 rows, UF 3 1/2"
3 rows, UF 2 1/2'
4 rows, UF 2"
5 rows, UF 1 3/4"
6 rows UF 1 1/2"
7 rows UF 1 3/8"
8 rows UF 1 1/4"

Most of them with templates, I measured with the UF size would be so I could do the same thing.

Macybaby - that is going to be one colorful, happy quilt when done. You & Teen are very inspiring. I will be slow going, have a goal to get 2 per week completed.

I agree with disliking the fact that the UF is not provided. I had to do a cheat sheet similar to this and after awhile, the sizes stick with you because you do them so often. Templates make it easy to figure out but some don't have templates so this is helpful.....Thanks for sharing this chart.
