I am here too.

Out of each of your 3 1/2 in strips ( they should all be that wide) Cut in one inch increments. You need 36 of each color combination. There should be a little left over of each strip, ease for cutting mistakes and joins. Be sure to clean up your end before starting your cuts to make sure that they are straight.



While cutting your strips, you can easily along the way verify if you have done an accurate job, the light strips end up 1/2 inch so easy to line up on your ruler when cutting.



here is the download if anyone can do it,

So how is everyone doing?

Just going to start pressing the seams open...kind of slow

that is okay, there is no rush

I just got to step 2 and you are already on 3. Geez, I'm slower than I thought I'd be

I will slow down a bit, it is okay, and if more let me know, I can gage when to post the next bit


I am in chat if you need help,

ok, caught up. whew :P

Me, too!

Just now got mine pressed!
Guess I am bringing up the rear!! LOL

Yeah!, hope everyone is having fun, It shoudn't take to long to press

so I am going to post the next bit, don't sorry if you are a little behind, and remember even if you just want a short break and a bit of a chat, I am in chat

We are now going to put our block together.

Sew strip 1 to strip 2. *Chain piece all 36 at a time. Cut apart and press, seams open.

Sew on strip 3 *

Okay, just finished cutting 216 + little strips....and here's the next step, good.... :)

Sew on strip 4 *

Sew on strip 5 *


And then 6 *

I know you guys but this time know that.

You match the ends up the same way.

Ok I have all of the strips sewn and I am ready to cut. I am catching up slowly.

So most of you know that I did two of them, one to see if it would work (plus I forgot to take pictures right from the start) and the second to do up the directions etc. so here is the picture of the other block, totally different!

great, I hope that you are still having fun!

cb how many are doint the mystery?

I have no idea, there are a few that are posting, but not sure if there are some that are and not saying anything

There are a lot of lookers if nothing else, we have had quiet the number of hits.

no ninnie that would be me. but i'll get there.

one & two are together, now for strip 3

great!, stick with it, you are doing great!

I am sorry to interrupt, but where are the directions for this?

If you start at the fist page, they start there, and don't worry, you are not interupting and they follow through, when we are done I am going to put them all together for anyone that wants to do it later

I could use an interuption, CB has them posted just start on page 1, cutting directions and sewing directions follow

cb did i miss the download fo step 4-6?

Everyone needs breaks, it is hard on the body not to have them,

now the 4's to the 3's 1/2 way there!

I have the first 2 sets sewn together! :D :D :D
Had to have a break! :lol: :lol:

I came up one short and had to make it! :oops: :oops: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I didn't put the download on yet, just the write along, I will do it now

some are having a lot of trouble with the downloads

thank you. i just thought i had missed it. still working at it.

This is so much fun. I'm sorry I didn't know about it earlier. Fortunately, I have a bunch of 2" strips already cut.

You can use 2" strips as well, it will just make a bigger block, just adjust the size of everything else to go along

Okay just starting to add row 4
