I finally went and bought seam binding to cover all of the seams and the double seam binding to bind it with. I had to do it by hand because some of the seams were a little wonky. I figure that I sewed about 40 yards by hand - what with both sides, up and down and across. Not fun.
However, we started with a 6" square in the middle and added 6"strips to 2 sides, then added full length strips to the other 2 sides, making a 10" sqare. That was SO MUCH FUN and they all came out so pretty. And that was the end of the fun. I am so glad that it is over!!!!! I'm going to try it one more time. Heard that the 3rd time is a charm.
