I did it for the first time, and i feel like my squares did not line up perfectly.<BR/>I made the long strips, using my blocks and 6" x 12' rectangles, then i sewed my long white sashing to my long strips. maybe it just takes a few times? i will check in the comments so you don't have to email me back.<BR/>thanks!Philigryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12830448931204543522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-42280073546497705882009-01-18T19:39:00.000-06:002009-01-18T19:39:00.000-06:00What????
