Ah, I exaggerated greatly. Am just so used to using 2 1/2 strips lately, my mind didn't wrap itself around the 3 inch strip so I continually mismeasured and miscut. Should have done it when I was less tired. All is good now!

I kind of feel like a brat for pointing this out but you have a goof bottom row blue the center 4patch is not turned right. I think I only saw it because of the numerous times I have had to redo mine for the exact same thing.

Great blocks Q L Grandmaw, just that one Billi pointed out. I know, don't you hate that you have to undo. I know I had two to do. I'm glad mine are done. Okay for those west of me. I know ya'll need the rain, but just send me about an inch. From what I can see , all the weather this month is running sideways across the states and nothing pushing anything too much. I've been contemplating trying a Bento Box sample, but since I know I have lots of time, I'm trying to work on the previous months swaps. Putting the blocks together, etc.. Seems I now have 5 quilts to sandwich and quilt. Nothing fancy, straight lines is all I can do. I had to stop on one this am, because I'm getting sooooooo aggravated with this thread. I bought a package of multicolored threads from thread arts and no matter what size needle I use it breaks. There is nothing more disgusting. I feel like throwing them all out, but I just can't see wasting the money. They are embroidery thread, 3 strans and size 40, so it shouldn't be an issue, but it is. so I've stopped to rest, take a nap and hopefully I can get this one done today.

Quilt Lover Grandma, I love your blocks. Don't fret about the wrong one. These blocks are easy to undo and put back together. Ask me how I know!
I am on the fence about the Bento swap, I will make a couple in just red and white and see what the outcome is.
I am unsure if I want a red and white quilt or not.
