My 9 year old granddaughter made one for the Columbia county Faith this year. Sew strips of varying widths together. when you have a 10 inch wide piece, cut it in 10 inch squares, sew 2 squares together around the outside, cut both ways across corner to corner X , then sew the little blocks together. No seams to match. She wond Best of Show in Textile Division, and made it last year when she was only 8. Her's is small but you can just keep adding blocks until it is the size you want. There is a small picture of it on the home page of the web site.
