What a marvelous tutorial. Thank you. I was curious as to whether it would be a good idea to stitch all of those folds in place? The only point of securing them looks like a pin when they are all done? Thanks.

i did go back and stitch down the folds after I was done as they kept wanting to pop out of their place

thnx for the answers on how far apart the fabrics in the stack are laid...
i was in a hurry to take something with me camping so i just placed them 3/4" apart...it was definitely too much...altho i did come out with something kinda neat so i may yet finish it and keep it altho i do really want a folded dahlia lol
so maybe i will try again with the 3" x 6" blocks...we will see what comes

Please what do you mean by folding the 3 inch by 6 inch longways pressing and then "opening up".
When I sew all 7 pieces together on the backing are the strips (6 x 3) folded or are they flat pieces of fabric?
