Keep going until all of the blocks are sewn and switch the blocks around til you are happy with how they look.

Once you are happy with the layout, then you will sew the halves into strips vertically, and then all of the strips together :D:D:D
Suzi and Amma...I love you both! Suzi for asking the question and Amma for writing such a clear explanation! I was torturing myself sewing each seam together separately until I was almost finished and I began squaring up the piece. All of a sudden....voila! The "sew three pieces together etc" hit me! Where have you both been while I was struggling??????? THANK YOU BOTH!!!! SIGH............................
