All the squares are 2.5 inches (finish at 2.0). I am part of the Birthday Swap group here on the board and I cut my smaller scraps into 2.5's. Therefore, I have an abundance of 2.5 squares. I do make four patches then join four together to make 16 patches to make the rows. I have done quite a few of these checkerboard quilts and this seems to work for me.
I did correct the checker board quilt, finished the binding on my crumb quilt and made 4 more crumb blocks. I cut the batting and pieced the batting for the 2008 Christmas Exchange block quilt but.... no quilting on it. May be next month. Tee-Hee-Hee!
