the strips are cut 2", the block measures 12 1/2" unfinished once the 8 triangles are sewn together and the corner units put on.

I had 10 different fabrics for each medium, light and dark value. For each block you choose 1 each of medium, light and dark and then a 4th strip of your choosing from any of the values. My little red plastic "value viewer" came in very handy when sorting the fabrics into values. I was shocked that the two bright oranges registered as strong lights through the viewer same with one of the tiger/zebra stripes. But once the blocks started going together they definitely read as lights.

You are right, it is very addictive. I missed my "fix" last night.
