Was planning on making my own to go with, but after a year of sitting in a box, I got another idea and used the swap 9 patches and ended up with lots of leftover neutral squares.
So instead of grabbing yardage and starting to cut strips, I counted 2.5" squares and had about 450 so didn't need to cut up many more to have enough.
Would post the link to the Riley Blake BOM please? Others may be interested too!
