Default Let's get this party rolling!

WEEK 2
Here we go. I would guess that everyone has a huge pile of scraps they are waiting to start to chop up!

From scraps or charms, cut 52 blocks that measure 3-1/2” by 4-1/2”, the more variety, the more you will like your topper.

From fabric A, cut 7 pieces that measure 1-1/2” wide, and are WOF. (Set the remainder aside for later.) Cut these strips into 4-1/2” x 1-1/2” pieces, you will need 52 pieces. Or cut into one of your fat quarters.
Take one strip of 1-1/2” x 4-1/2” fabric and sew it to the long side of one block as shown. Use accurate ¼” seams. Make 52 of these blocks. Press seams to side of your choice; just be consistent in your pressing. Blocks will be 4-1/2” square. Chain stitch these pieces, I find it easier and faster than doing one at a time.
