CarolineS - the more I think of it, when I was experimenting with the new ruler, I tried to cut them 5-1/4 but made them too wide and needed to keep nipping off a piece before cutting a new block. But I think I made them 5-1/8" - seeems silly, but it was better.
Hmmm, since I have a lot of my B fabric, at least 10 yards-60 inches wide, I am going to use your 5 1/8" strip width suggestion. Likely will end up making 2 quilt tops since the first clue went so fast. I might go back and purchase some more of my A fabric. Kicking myself now that I did not buy more.
I find Jenniky's first fabric choices more visually pleasing. Not sure about the D grey in the second choice, it reads darker than D in the picture. Perhaps a very light blue small scale print or mottle??
