I must admit I had to rip some seams and said after the queen I'd never make another. Too much headache. Famous last words because I then had to make the King!-lol- the bricks were 4 1/2 x 8 1/4 , I think, except for ones on side of frame at beginning and ending. It really doesn't matter just so bricks are consistent in size and you keep your mortar lined up. Hope this helps.

Yes-you did clear it up a lot. Thank you so much for sharing your inspiring idea. I do appreciate it.

These are great! I love the idea of the attic windows with the panel. I have been trying to figure it out and your window is spot on! You must have a love of outdoorsy men in your family.

Congrats on getting them done!
