Hi to all!
In answer to questions I used a Bali Pop and added 2 1/2" squares at the end of each strip as I sewed it together which gives you 1 VERY long strip, then you fold it in half and sew one of the longest seams you will ever sew, cut it at the end you will have 2 rows, and fold it again and sew another long seam, which will be half of the first gtiving you 4 strips together, repeat this about 5 times depending on the width and length you want it. Then add your borders.
Hope this helps!
