Better to measure before you pay ... if not right, have them do it again.

Thanks for the information! I'm a beginning quilter and had not heard of doing this. I think I'll check and see if they can do 6 1/2" and 2 1/2" for me. I've already purchased the 8 1/2. Happy Easter.

My across the street neighbor and I went together over a year ago and had squares that each needed cut from a large sheet, we each got about a half dozen squares, and I came home with the scraps. We got all this for less than I had paid for one 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inch square on sale at Hobby Lobby. All were cut exactly to the dimensions we requested.

Great question about 5 x 5 measurement. I already had the 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 with the Fons and Porter pack that had several other pieces (40% off at Jo Ann's) however, I wanted an exact 5 x 5 to Fussy Cut to use with some charm packs and make the disappearing 9 patches for quilts that required charm packs. I really love that pattern because it changes whenever you move the squares around. Couldn't find and 5 x 5 or 4 x 4. Hope that explains it for you.
