Yes, only 36" ... but you can do whatever you want with them. They don't have to stack them one on top of each other. I saw one winning quilt that was done that way ... and yes, not a nice quilt size-wise.
At one store, I saw a finished quilt where they had broken a row of four stars, into single stars and used as cornerstones. Then made a matching pair of rows that they turned on their side to broaden out the quilt. Coordinating fabrics were used throughout and they ended up with one fantastic quilt!
Many are doing the rows singly ... as wall hangings or as table runners. Some hang nicely horizontally, and some can go either ways.
Coopah ... thanks for the license plate idea.
Others?? ... any other license plate usage ideas?
