    Thanks for all the good information you provide for easy access. It is so helpful. Can you share your general spacing between the columns and the rows? I can guesstimate, but appreciate more specificity if possible.

      Its the same spacing she used on her chart I just didnt stitch the divider borders in. I didn’t change anything about her spacing so whatever the chart spaces are is what I used. Hope that helps!
