Good morning... I used Ms. Burns book and have made 3 or 4 l/c quilts now. I had to use the little sheet in her book and cut a tiny piece of fabric and tape it to the sheet. Then I laid out my strips as they were to be put on. Light 1, dark 1, etc. And a little trick my cousin taught me, make sure there are two seams to sew over when you add your next block (strip). I love the l/c block and just finished a l/c star quilt top and am working on a l/c heart wall hanging. I sure hope you finish it. They are really quite beautiful and I love the history behind the block. Good luck!! :o)
