I understand we are cutting 2 l/2 " strips then sewing two strips together then cutting 5 " squares off the strips then put 4- together to make a blk. Am i right ? i noticed some sewed a 5-1/2" strip on one side instead of two-2 1/2" strips made a very pretty blk. lots of ways to use these like the log cabin pattern lots of choices. have fun don't let itupset you very pretty quilts.
