okay...I don't know what happened w/that post..it went all the
way to the right and I had to move my bar at the bottom
to read it myself...so, I will try it again..:)

How cute is this?!! I love it!! Such a fun play on log cabin
type blocks. Here's what I would do if it were me...lay it
out like you have...decide how much space is needed
between the blocks...guessing 2 1/2" w/the 2" showing.
Then cut ,your length of the fabric by 2 1/2"...sew
between blocks, cut or cut all those boogers by the
length of the block and sew between the blocks.
Then make your long strip all the way across from
left to right w/out any breaks (well, unless you
need to add on to make the strip fit) Once all is
framed in black...you will need to take the black
all the way around to frame it all in(same 2 1/2".
Then at that time decide how much bigger you
want to make this. I'd make a scrappy-whacky
border all the way around...frame again in black.
Black will really make the colors and shapes pop
when doneThen finish in a scrappy binding. Too
cute and anxious to see how this will turn out for
you! Hope that makes senseIMHO~Skeat
