Ooh, I like! There is real movement in this block if you get the colors correct. I will have to look at your closer and see which ones you rotated, because I like that look.
I agree, if I did this for a full-sized quilt, I would make the blocks 24 inches wide to save on aggravation and time, but I think the results would be wonderful. My husband is still reminding me that we need a quilt for our bed; I've told him when the correct pattern calls to me, then we will work on getting the fabric for it.
Your centers strips were 3/4; mine were only 1/2 inch in the finished block. Bonni, what finished width did your center strip end up as? That way we can compare "looks" for future blocks. I didn't mean to imply that you had done Clara, but that you were also doing the Kansas Dugout blocks.
No, my center strip turned out to be 1/2" After sewing the first two strips together, I measured 3/4", then take away the seam allowance, and it's 1/2". The blocks look different just because of placement of the fabric. I didn't mean you switched a block. Sorry.
