5 minute block , what size blocks to cut out? Help!
I know someone on the board had a list of proper size to make different size 5 minute block. I want an 8 inch finish block, can anyone help me? Thank you. Janice

did you want a 5-min block that looks like a flying geese or did you want a 10-minute block that finishes square at 8"?

McNeil made to kinds the 10 & 5. The 5 minute looks like the flying geese but longer at the top of the geese. Don't know if I explained that very good.

I have the Five Minute Quilt Block book. Each pattern has a different size of fabric to cut. The basic block is
Large 10" block uses 5 1/4" x 10" fabric pieces. Small block uses 2 7/8" x 5 1/4" makes 5 1/4" block. The book is worth getting. I love everyone of the patterns. There seems to be a ratio to fabric size to finished block size as the fabrics are all weird measurements. I would use 8 1/2" fabrics for the sky and try different size of geese fabric until it worked out. |
