Dottymo, I found great advice on YouTube. Two things I learned from different sources. One, and most important, cut the strips long ways and iron the complete strip (5") in half and then cut 5" blocks. Do numerous strips at the same time. Fold the corners to the middle and put a little Elmer's School glue to hold them down. It works best if you iron them. If you will starch the long strips it makes ironing the folds easier. Then I cut a 10" square of fabric. It won't matter because it won't show and a 5" square of (preferably) the same color of the first folded squares glued in the middle of the 10" square. Lay first 4 in the center again glue. Next rows around will be 8 squares folded. I needed some hand work so I tacked them down the centers by hand but the tute showed to sew down with machine. Will be 4 across seams. I tried to evenly cut them in a circle and put batting and back (just cut bigger ) and used my serger to go around then used bias tape around the edge. Hope this makes sence. Google the tute, it will be better.
