Or you could do two strip sets ... slice them apart two of each for each block ..... and then flip flop to assemble. This could work, if you are doing a scrappy mixture, too.

That's definitely the way I'd do it.

Looks like we might think alike? ... working with bigger pieces and less fiddly stuff!!

Thanks QuiltE, for the easier way to cut and make this block. I was experimenting with precut 2.5 squares I had on hand. Your way if definitely quicker if you have strips.

My first thought when I looked at the block was "strip sets would make that easier ". Make the two sets, cross cut, flip the two bottom strips, whola.

Thanks for posting this. I made a sample block years ago to remind me to make future blocks. No idea where that sample went. Out of sight out of mind 🤣

@toogie ... I can see you coming up with a great QOV version.
Bonus, it doesn't have to be all matchy-matchy.

Years ago, I did a similar project, and just used the fabrics in whatever length I had. So there might have been a 12", 6" and 10" together. Slice and dice, then match the leftovers with others. Too small, cut into squares for this project or another. Way too small, toss it out!
