Quilt Block Patterns in Non Traditional Sizes

All of the quilt block patterns in this folder are for blocks of somewhat non-traditional sizes, all ending in fractions for the finished block. Why? Because sometimes changing size makes patches rotary cuttable. In some cases, altering size helps two blocks work together in the same quilt, even though they wouldn't mesh property (or be rotary cuttable) when sewn in their 'standard' sizes. Block sizes shown are finished sizes.
