The quilt block can be photocopied and enlarged (150%) to make a 10” x 10” block. Cut the block apart to create templates, adding 1/4” seam allowances to all sides. The bindings should measure 2” wide. The finished block size is 9-1/2” x 9-1/2”.
10” square for backing (choose a print to go with each particular project)
