How many blocks will I need, I figured this and it was over 300, that can't be right can it! YIKES! I am not a match person for sure but I know some of you are!Thanks in advance!Gwen
I would make the 6" block the center of a larger block...that's way too many for me....something similar to this layout... they would each be the 'star' that way, you would actually notice each block more than dozens of little blocks with no real 'framework'... or maybe as the center of an ohio star?
