Thank you Ginger. Straight edge to straight edge measure 5-1/2 inches and corner to corner is 6-1/2 inches and this includes the 1/2 inch seam allowance. If you go back to page 1 or so you'll see a scan of the plastic template that I bought just before finishing the throw. Prior to that I used cardboard templates made from cereal boxes. The plastic template has cuts in it so you have a choice of sizes from that one template. I just used the largest one as that's the one that was the same size as the one that came in the magazine where I found the pattern.

I think you could probably sew them together using the sewing machine and a zig zag stitch. Enjoy.
