I just love this block, would you share all of the sizes of the different cut pieces of the block? Thanks :)

My, as I said, when I started it was just meant to be a practice block so I didn't take any measurements. I can give you a general idea that the "Boston" blocks are about 5 - 1/2 inches (finished) and then I just winged it from there.

Thank-you.

Practice blocks is exactly why I have so many UFOs, I love to see what a pattern will look like, and many times never have any intention of completing a quilt with them. Some day I will figure out how to put all those odds and ends together. ;-)
