    I honestly don't remember how big the strips were but the finished blocks are 6". Does that help?

    Absolutely beautiful. Never would have thought of using that fabric either..but I'm glad you did. I have done one of these also and the tricky part was selecting those connectors in the corners. I really enjoy making these...each so individual...
    Great work and thanks for the pictures!

    Well shut my mouth and looky here, never thought I'd see a yard bird look so good.
    You did an amazing job! Keep up the good work!

    I LOVE it, I collect chickens and roosters. This would really fit the bill!
