Hi Yolanda.
That's a good idea.  My pieces are supposed to be 8 inches, so not quite as
big as the whole pad.

So, I am using the knit picks blocking pad. They have cut-outs to put
together as a puzzle, but I am only using one square, and I want my squares
to be ten inches so I have found the protrusions and cut-outs to define each
corner and edge.
