Hugs and kisses help please
 
Done with hugs block finishing at 7.5. Need help with kisses size. How big do I make each square. I can sew, I can cut, I can quilt, just can't do math.

That is where you have the X and O blocks? The subunits are the same size in both blocks, but the O's have two ends with background, while the X is made with 1 background.

So the answer is the same size as you used before.

I do like that pattern, it is one I've made more than once :)

Edit: Wait -- I took a look at a quilt. Subunits are the same but just turned differently.

This was an informative video:
Iceblossom has the answer for you.

lots of product references, but if you ignore them, her construction and pressing tips were good.
I totally cringed because she does not appear to be a wash before cutting person, but - use what one can from the video and ignore the rest.

The other parts to these blocks are 4 patches. Are you saying each part of the X block is 7.5? or is 4 of the snowballed blocks 7.5 inches when sewn together? Could we have a picture with a ruler so we can determine how big your blocks are? The blocks are typically put together as 4 parts. Two of them are 4 patches on alternating corners and the others are the snowballed blocks on the other two corners as shown in the picture.

To continue my train of thought. If your 4 section block finishes at 7 inches (7.5 unfinished), then each 4 patch block is 3.5 inches finished. Therefore, 3.5/2= 1.75 +.5 (seams) so each block part of this is cut at 2.25 inches. When 4 are sewn together, you should get a 7.5 inch unfinished block.
Please, if anyone sees this differently, please correct my calculations.
