My Warm Wishes has the center bar wider than the side bars, so of they are cut with one color 2x6, another color 2x6 and the center color 3x6. The alternating blocks are 6x6.
Personally I prefer 2.5x7.5, 2.5x7.5, 3.5x7.5 with the alternating blocks 7.5 square. |
i think the design of the fabric would be the deciding factor for how big to cut the units. some fabrics are suited for "fussy-cuting". others seem to look okay when cut " wherever"

Can you go to your local library and have them print the pattern from a website for you?
