This one was traditionally pieced and should have been easy peasy. The first one turned out a quarter of an inch too big though. So I recut the squares at 1.5 inches instead of the little mark right after that on the ruler. It will float a little bit inside the outer square now, but I just didn't want to start cutting things to 1/16th of and inch. I guess this is why people use templates instead of trying to rotary cut everything. I'll add to jumbo 5.25 inch block to the orphan block bin.

Very pretty in pink! You could always throw the oversize one onto the back.
Love the pink! Love the block. For really small blocks like these I think it would be helpful to have 1/16 increments on our rulers... but that's just me. lol. Your block looks super!
BTW... you could use the 'other' block to make a label for this quilt. Just an idea.
Very pretty. I don't like templates either, but have found that sometimes you can't just rotary cut either.
