OK...one more today
YAY
I actually cut the parts at 730 tonight and did all the sewing during the commercials of "Bones" just to show you it's quick and man have they ever cut down on actual showtime!!!
I wanted to give you a slightly different method to tackle this block. I started with strips - all were cut 1" exactly [well actually the outer border I cut 1 1/4" and used my Jane ruler to square it up/down]
I cut 3 background strips - 1x4.5" and 4 - 1" squares and a 1 1/4" x 21" strip for outer border.
of print I cut the following 1 - 1 x 4.5" strip; 1 - 2 x 4.5" strip; 1 - 3 x 4.5" strip ... before attaching to background on the long sides of the 2" & 3" widths, I cut off the bottom 1" [leaving me with a 1 x 2" and 1 x 3" strip to attach to center first...refer to drawing] Next I sewed those long sides together and cut 3 - 1" strips from each unit. I basically sewed it together going in a circle once the middle 9-patch was made...a la log cabin fashion
