The trick is to pick a LOT of contrast between the 2 fabrics that has been paired for each block. I pulled out my dots and solids, then I paired these together until I had 26 different sets.
I then made the 3 units for each block. Notice there is only 1 block you need 4 units for. 3 blocks you only need 1 unit for and 4 blocks you only need 2 units for. :-)
I forgot to say, don’t sew the rows together until ALL blocks are made. This is so you can move the blocks around for better placement with other colors. The reason I say this.... (I was too excited with my progress that I did not want to wait until they were all made!)....I had to unsew a few of my blocks and a whole row because of the placement of the row under it that did not match up. Just sharing an experience well learned on this quilt. :-0
