This quilt is 22" square and I made it with the Table Runner size blocks (5"). As a little bonus if you want to make this tiny quilt. The corner setting half square triangles are 4 1/2" cut in half once diagonally. The side quarter square setting triangles are 8 3/8" cut in half twice diagonally. I made this little one with Tilda's summer collection from this year called Circus :)
