Instructions for today include finishing the blocks started in Part 1.
For the sides, cut 2 – 2″ x 5″ strips. For the top and bottom, cut 2 – 2″ x 8″ strips.
It doesn’t matter which way the seam allowances are pressed. Try to be consistent with pressing them toward the outside or toward the center but it isn’t going to matter since they won’t be matching up with other seam allowances. The blocks should be 8″ unfinished.
Can you get 30 of these done before Friday? Sure you can! Next installment will be posted Friday.

Oh I jumped ahead. I was wondering were the measurements for the last set of “borders” on the block were. I just figured them out for myself and went with it. I love this block, it’s so simple and it’s great for scraps!

i did the same thing–jumped ahead planning-wise.
now all i have to do is sew the next set of 4 strips on each block and i’ll be caught up. i’m loving my fabric choices.
