This may seem a little out of order but today we’re going to work on the pieced border. This is the block. It is 4-1/2″ unfinished or 4″ finished. We need to make 72 blocks total but some have the bottom strip reversed.
Make 38 with the bottom strip going this way:
Border Blocks
Make 34 with the bottom going this way:
Border Blocks
Fabric 3 – Cut 4 – 2-1/2″ strips.
Fabric 5 – Cut 4 – 2-1/2″ strips.
NOTE: You may need a 5th strip but see if you have some leftover pieces you can use before cutting the 5th strip.
Sew these together into 4 strip sets. Cut those into 72 – 2-1/2″ segments.
Border Piece
Fabric 3 – Cut 4 – 4-1/2″ strips. Cut these into 72 – 2-1/2″ x 4-1/2″ rectangles and sew to the above pieces to complete the blocks.
Same note as before: You may need a 5th strip but see if you have some leftovers you can use before cutting the 5th strip.
Next instructions will be posted April 11.

Good Morning Judy,
I have to say, that even though I’m not participating in this project, every time those “dimples” pop up on my screen, it puts a smile on my face. What a great way to start the day..

My 4 strips only made 36 4 1/2 inch rectangles. Should the instructions have read “Cut 8 2 1/2 inch strips ?
Lynn says
My mistake- I should have done 4 1/2 inch strips
