Continue for the next inside round. Once you have it drawn out you have your PP pattern. You can make multiple copies by gluing 4 or 5 sheets behind your drawn piece. You only want a drop of glue to keep the papers from shifting, then sew with an unthreaded needle through all sheets using your drawn pattern or you can go to an office supply store and make copies.

For your background I would use the same fabric for each block but if you want to mix and match for the other blocks I think that would look great proved each background is the same value of black/white/gray print.
Thank you! I am excited about using up the b&w's and a whole bunch of stips given to me and in a design that will appeal to my engineer husband. Only downside is he is color blind and most of my strips are in the greens that he does not see. I do have some of his favorite cobalt blue and yellows to mis around, though.
