How are you doing on the blocks? Hopefully you have the 12 blocks done so far!? Because I only used 6 fabrics, I knew it would be a bit trickier to “shuffle” things around so I put the blocks on my design board in a 3×4 layout like this Then with 17 of the #2 …

It’s time to sew those HSTs into block sections! Follow the pattern and sew 4 sets of 4+4 HSTs together from the piles we matched up last week, if the fabric is direction like this black text fabric, then you get 2 blocks of each like this I tried to alternate if the black text …
