I've got 12 blocks (using a 10" layer cake) made and ironed. I'm putting 3 blocks across and 4 down. I'm going to do the cathedral window around the center block. I think I've figured out how to create another 'center' when I put the rows of blocks together. Got to play with it some more to be sure before I sew. I'm using holiday fabrics and made all my centers white. My first quilt for me.

I saw a block like this tonight that someone had made for a swap and it was a 12 inch block. So, yes, you can make different size blocks.

I took my blocks to my Sat am quilt group for show and tell. Lo and behold, another gal had done this very same block. She used 5" squares and her center square was a 4" block. Her blocks were so cute. They were 9.5" unfinished blocks. So, you can used different size squares.

Thank you I just order one. I went to a bookstore and a quilt shop and they didn't have any.

Thanks again

great - I'm wondering if it can be adapted to make smaller blocks for a quick baby quilt. Shouldn't be a problem just might need more. thanks

Seems easy to do. I will have to give it a try.
