Oh I love the fabric on the right! Is that the same one as the strips? Are they Bleeding Hearts?? Gorgeous!
Are you making a traditional block, or will you make a curved one? What width are your strips???
I have a lot of questions, huh? :lol:

They probably make a bigger one but I don't know. I wanted to see how I liked this one and I love it.

Dakotamaid, what a good idea! Thanks
Funny, everyone wants a bigger one but I want a smaller one!

I'm not sure how I will position the strips yet. I want it to look like yours! lol
I cut 2 inch strips- hope they aren't too narrow. What do you think??
Thanks for looking!

I have this ruler and love it. One tip for those who want to get one, if you are like me, not exactly a mathematical genius, get some small colored dots from the office supply section of a store. Stick them on the ruler where you want to make cuts just to make sure you cut the right sized strips or blocks. For example, if you are cutting 2 1/2" strips, put a dot at 2 1/2, 5, 7 1/2 etc. You can reuse the dots or just use new ones each time. They are very inexpensive and save on cutting errors.
