I am almost half way done with Step 1, posted a pic on the other thread.
But I have some thoughts on Step 2. I did RRCB last year and did all those string blocks. I didn't particularly like them- not doing them or the look when they were finished. Just my personal opinion. And so now I see string blocks again and am tempted to skip this step and just cut 3.5 inch blocks of lots of different greens(my chosen color for this step). I do have lots of green scraps, but they are not strips so will have to do a fair amount of cutting strips too. It IS my quilt and I know it is my choice as to how I complete this. But I am seeing several say how cute these are and so much easier to do since they are small. I may try a few and see how they look before I make a decision......just wanted to get that off of my chest. Feel like I am the only one who doesn't like string blocks.
