Admittedly, there isn't much left of it, but I thought that wsan't bad. The four blocks around the middle block, I had a fat quarter to do them, and again, that went well
Yes I am discovering that as I do a few blocks, I thought I would need at least an 1/8 yard, but like for M11 I just did, I think I used maybe half of an 1/8 yard cut. I know some will need more, some less, so I just have all my pieces together now, even the small ones. But since I am trying to have every orange block with a different fabric, I still need a lot of different orange prints. LOL I guess as I near the end my thought on all different oranges may change as they get harder to find!!! :)
