I started mine with 12" blocks, most start with smaller. Once they're cut you take the first stack and put the top piece on the bottom, second stack put the top two on the bottom, third the top three and sew on before you start sewing. That will give you one piece of each fabric per block. Then just sew your black strips on between the first and second, the second and third, the 4th and 5th, 5th and 6th then sew a strip down one side of your first three that you've sewn together and sew the second strip onto that. Do the same with the last strip. Don't try to have your corners match, they don't need to. You'll have to square up each block when finished. hope that helps
I did this Wonky 9 patch block also, in a quilt as you go type thing,for a baby quilt for my grandson. they ended up hanging it up in his bedroom! (so then i had to make another one for him to cuddle in!)
