I do have copy right info listed at the bottom of my blog and at the top of my tutorials page and on the tutorials themselves. And if I ever see anything during an internet search of something that is mine, but not on my blog I contact them immediately.

And then in the cutting instructions, it says to cut them to 5" strips. HOWEVER, I do have an updated version of that quilt tutorial in this blog post:http://www.gigisthimble.com/2022/11/a-simple-charm-quilt-tutorial-20.html. It includes a reference sheet with details for a bunch of different quilt sizes, using different cuts of fabric, different backing widths, etc.! I hope you'll check it out!Gigi's Thimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02104714701161170769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111251612193454477.post-66005607417518564152024-01-13T18:50:56.335-07:002024-01-13T18:50:56.335-07:00Don't be embarrassed!

We all made about 40 blocks each month (for 3 months). We could not repeat the same fabric set more than 7 times to help ensure that we got a good variety of fabrics. Each block consisted of two triangles sewn together with a rectangle strip in between. We were asked not to trim or press the block before swapping them (so that the person receiving the blocks could press them and trim them to their liking). The person in charge of the swap divied up each set of 40 blocks amongst the number of people participating. I hope that clarifies it.
