Jodi has designated this as a Pride Quilt in honor of Pride Month. Please make these blocks with black backgrounds and use rainbow colors. Each block is one color with black and if you follow Jenny Doan's instructions in the linked video, you will make two blocks at a time.
The block size seems to vary so use scant seams and trim to 8.5 inches or leave untrimmed as the blocks will probably all be trimmed to 8 inches to accommodate the variations.
