Sure! The finished goose block is 3 1/2" by 6 1/2".
Thanks all! I took Mary's idea and just rearranged one corner of the greens, so that they match now.
I have 2 placemat centers completed and am about to piece the 3rd. I'm making two sets of 4 of these placemats.... my mother's will have black tone-on-tone border strips, and my mother-in-law's will have a brownish or something else that matches border strip set.

All 4 centers are done!! Next up is to cut the 8 border rectangle strips and get them sewn on. I don't think I have enough backing fabric to actually finish them, and maybe not even enough batting, but the biggest part will be finished. Then I'll do the second set of 4 placemat centers.

Very pretty, next year I'm going to try to make my 4 daughters and daughter in law a set of placemats for each month. Sounded like a good idea until I realized that is 52 placemats. :-) Think I'll probably start right after Christmas when I can get the Christmas fabric on sale.

What no batting scraps? I wish I were near. I always have bags leftover. I buy the precut bags of batting and use what I need then roll up the rest and keep for other projects.
