I would prefer to not have to PP it as I'm so slow at that & don't have PP experience but have not come up with good measurements for a traditional pieced block. A smaller pieced block that I could just at borders to would be ideal. This block will be one of several that I want to make for a charity block drive that I participate in semi-monthly. Thanks for anyone's help & input.
To make this block without PP I would make your HST to measure 3 1/4 unfinished to finish in the block at 2 3/4. Your inside sash cut at 1 1/2 to finish at 1". Your corner blocks would require cutting the dark orange square at 1 7/8 wide and your light orange at the same width. Assuming you strip piece those two, should end up with a strip set that measures 3 1/4 wide. sub cut those down to 1 7/8 x 3 1/4 units. You can then take another light orange 1 7/8 strip and sew that to the side to make the corner unit which should measure 3 1/4 square unfinished. Please test with scraps as I just figured quickly on paper.
