I have three rows put together. I need to make more of clue 2 to put together the other 2 rows.

I gave up on her method 3 for clue 2 and went strip method. so much easier. cut the strips pink and black each 2", cut the white a bit smaller, 1 7/8". sew them and then cut 45* angle and 2 1/2" wide. trim to 4 1/2", wal-la done! I tried using 2" strips for the white also and found that I was trimming the points, so it needs to be a bit narrower. I hope this helps grammy17.

Yes you get bias edges, but it was easier and when sewing together, I am not having any problem.
