The larger ones are cut at 4.5 to finish at 4 inches in the block. The smaller ones are cut at 1.5 to finish at 1 inch in the finished block (after the block is sewn to another block).

Dottie..I agree the directions were not as clear as they could have been (I also am puzzled why I can't find the string on the February blocks...this is the January string). The little HSTs are squared to 1 3/4" (see size of the background squares for the corners) and finish at 1 1/4". The large HSTs are squared at 4 1/4" and finish at 3 3/4" (you will see one side is equal to three of the little HSTs..1 1/4" x 3 = 3 3/4"). Finished sizes 3 3/4" plus 1 1/4" = finished 5", or half of a 10" finished block (of course, since there are 1/4" unfinished edges on the outside of the block, it ends up 10 1/2" unfinished).
