I think I have 1/4 yds and some FQs in my B/W box, so 9" may be a good size to try. The red is 2 yards so I'm covered there.

No specific size is needed. I would do at a least a large lap quilt or a twin size.

That would be my suggestion. Otherwise the final seam gets pretty tight and difficult to sew.

Anyway. I've made a 10-minute block from both charm squares and a layer cake, and I would not go smaller than charms (5"). It was very difficult getting that center block in.

Peckish, do you remember the size of your squares and were the centers the same size? I like the looks of that one.

Peckish, I really like your quilt. How did you do the extras in between the blocks? I made mine with layer cakes. I tried the charms, but they were harder to work with. I think I would like 8 inch or larger squares.

It was a layer cake, and I added a couple of 10" squares from my stash. The centers were also 10".

Thank you. The extra centers in between the blocks were done exactly the same way as the centers in the blocks.

I did a whole quilt using 3" starter blocks. didn't know it was called a 10 min block, did mine by hand at work.
