This gives you a closer look at it. Both Blondie and CJ's directions will work it looks like to me.

ETA: Looked at my graph paper and shorte's excellent diagram again, and yup. The charm is 4.5 to start, 4 inches finished. (Assuming 2.5 inch to start, 2 inch finished for the outer squares).

Yep, you got it right. You gotta trim the 5" squares down to 4 1/2", I didn't think of that... Duh lol

Good catch Leigh! :)

I think Jean is correct. The center square needs to be 4 1/2 and the little squares are 2 1/2. That's where my figures weren't coming out right because I was making the center square 5 inches. If I sew 2 2 1/2 inch squares together they will measure 4 1/2. I was thinking of the center square after it was finished being 4 1/2 inches but when I am sewing the small squares onto it it will still be 4 1/2. Whew, that gave me a headache but I think I have it all straight now. Thanks for all the help! I really want to make this quilt. I think it will be really easy since I have it straight in my head.

I'm making this quilt next and found the directions on moda bakeshop. Well, no it's not the same but very close. Here is the link http://www.modabakeshop.com/2012/02/...red-quilt.html

I was just sitting here drawing it on graph paper and you are correct. My mistake was starting with a 5 inch square but it should be 4 1/2 inches. I think I have it all straight now. Just need to find a charm pack and jelly roll to use. I think it's a gorgeous quilt.

That is very similar. They just used a 16 patch for the one block. Very pretty too.

Oh I quite like this quilt! Can't wait to see yours all complete :)

OK I could not get my brain wrapped around this so I actually pulled out some 2 1/2" squares and a charm square. I sewed the 2 1/2"squares together and placed the next to the charm square. You will definately have to trim the charm square down to 4 1/2". Sometimes especially when math is involved I will not get it until I physically try it! I try very hard not to do math in public!

I was just about to do the same thing when it finally clicked in my head. Seems like the easiest things sometimes just don't make sense to me.

I'll be sure and post. Need to be on the lookout for a daily deal jelly roll that I like.
