Another Thinking Outside the Block
#81
Marcia it is gorgeous!! I love the green in the middle! I am sure that she is gonna love it, how could she not! I hope she will use it since Katie won't use theirs! It's stuck on a quilt frame to be looked at but never used on the bed. Have fun in SD!

For each of the blocks (my quilt is 10x10) start with a 2" center square, add two strips (1.5" wide) to two sides using lightest fabric, then two strips to the same two sides using the 2nd lightest fabric, etc., till you have six strips on the square. So each block consists of 13 pieces (one square plus 12 rectangles).
It's long and boring cutting the 1300 pieces :-) Sewing the blocks goes fairly quickly. Pay attention to the instructions in the pattern about which way to press the seams, since even though all blocks are sewn the same way, they don't all get pressed the same way. When pressed correctly, joining the blocks is reasonably easy.
Thanks for all your compliments!
