I did this tute a few years ago and wanted to share in case anyone was interested. Couldn't find it on the board, my list of tutes somehow is only 4 pages long so years of tutes are gone!

But I found the original in my files and reposted it and and giving you the link.

Love your BH scrappy, I did this in 4-1/2" squares because that is the size I cut most of my scraps into. You did a great job.

Thank you, I will do that then. Does flannel tend to shrink in general?

OK, here is my first set. I'm doing 2 ... They always look better in a photo, don't they? I was worried that I didn't have enough contrast, but I think they're ok.

Angelia: It's a picture of what I love about scrappies, going to be a great quilt.
Judy: Thank you for sharing the link, beautiful block. Done a lot of string quits but never thought to make half the square a the same fabric. Did you use the same green throughout? Kind of sad about #8 ending next week.

cat -- beautiful! Yes, you do have plenty of contrast.

tron - I think all of us could put out bucket list in a u-haul. Great analogy!

My four center squares with the triangles are coming out to 9" when trimmed. If I go 8.5 or 8.75, points will be lost. It doesn't help that today is colonoscopy prep day! I"m just grumpy!
