I just cut 18" squares from my fat quarters, made them into HST's and trimmed them to 17". So the blocks finished at 16.5". The quilt finished at 74.5" square (so maybe a bit big for a baby quilt but that's up to you!) You could adjust the block sizes and make a smaller version if desired.<br /><br />Happy quilting!<br />AmberGigi's Thimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104714701161170769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111251612193454477.post-34347655609617538392019-07-30T09:35:49.951-06:002019-07-30T09:35:49.951-06:00Thank you!
