I selected my fabrics for these strips and decided after I made a few that this would be my design. With this arrangement, the dark blue and red/black dots would be the red dots and blue checks as seen in the sample above.
Once I stitched and pressed the blocks, I watched the video and I am glad that I did. She made an error herself and then shared her method of cutting an accurate 4.5" block using the Half Bloc ruler. I would definitely recommend that you watch the video to help you with this week. Fast forward to 23:08 where she explains the correct method to cut the blocks.
Several group members have completed their blocks and given a tons of tips that I would share in the event you are in the same mental place that I am.
Here is a ruler that someone shared- I sure do wish I had that ruler now.
Also others shared that pressing the seams open helped reduce the bulk and another suggesting snipping a few stitches out of the center and pressing them in their corresponding direction.
If you completed this week, then good for you. As for me I am still working on it day by day. So stay tune.
