It looks a bit wonky in this photo. I am going to draw a square on the flannel the same size as the top – so that I can block it before adding the wider outer border.
I measured the width across the middle and cut the strips accordingly. I had a lot of easing to do – because all of the blocks on the edges are on the bias. I handled the blocks as gently as possible when joining and pressing them – but there is no way you can avoid a bit of stretching. If I can be sure that the top is square at this stage it should be square after the outer border is added.
This looks fabulous!!
It looks lovely Carol, it should be a great joy to you when it is all finished!
The extra effort will be so worth it!
