SheriR, when I cut a scant larger for the strips, I sewed a full 1/4" seam. Seems like with my machine they are nicer to get laying flat and no "bumps". Sorry I didn't add that so you knew. Your block looks great!!! Leaving for the weekend wedding soon so will check in on Monday. Just taking the tablet with me and not the laptop....it might be an experience I will never do again, but if I can't post I can still read all the comments and get e-mail. Have a great weekend ladies.
Notice my new avatar, it's the "Quilt for Quilters" swap and this is my beauty from Dabbler312. Autumn batiks and a tan colored minky back....had to show it off, I love it so much!
