JeanneS, thanks so much for sharing that photo!

Fraew, your fabrics are gorgeous.

Hi there, yes the mini-tri-recs tool makes a finished 2" square (2.5" unfinished), no other options available on it lol. I do have the regular templates too but I didn't have a huge amount of one or two of my fabrics, so I went with the wee-er size.

For the 4-patches, I started with strips of 1.5".

For the HSTs I started with 3" squares, drew the diagonal line and stitched either side.


I've been doing some math. The full size quilt will be 87" x 87". Quarter of the units should come out about 43.5" x 43.5".

As my units are 2/3 size I'm thinking mine should turn out at 28.75" square. Hopefully I'll have enough leftover fabric to make some extra blocks....

Cheers, K
