Sandra, if you have some spare time just try a few different sizes, you can always use them as presents. My rule is I cut the squares 12 1/2" and the sides either 2" or 2 1/2" - the 2" gives you a box with lover borders and a little wider where with the 2 1/2" the borders are higher and the box is smaller. I was given one to me which was made with a 15 1/2" and I think she said she cut it at 2 1/2" and it turned out quite large.
Good luck!!!
