2 1/2 inch from every scrap of any fabric I have used...and some from binding scraps from binding I did for friends with LA's...alternated with pale beige neutrals (assorted) and sewn 'chevron' so no seams to match.

Week 4
Are you ready for the big finish? Well, almost finished a nice border will finish it off, next Saturday. Lets call this the big reveal.
From the rest of Fabric A, cut 4 squares that measure 4-1/2. I was lucky enough to have enough leftovers to fussy cut my rose.
Take one Fabric A 4-1/2 square and 4 each of the 2 different units previously assemble, and assemble a 9-patch block. Pay attention to the layout. As you can see, I made a mistake on one of the A B E blocks and didnt notice unit I was entirely done assembling the topper. I really need to take it apart and fix, it bugs me every time I look at the picture. Press, making a 12-1/2 square.
From Fabric F (or something else if you want to repeat a color from your blocks) cut 5 sashing strips that measure 1-1/4 or 1-1/2 wide, whichever you like the looks of. From two strip cut a piece that each measure 12-1/2 long. Sew 2 blocks to each side of the 12-1/2 sashing strip. Make 2 of these units. Sew one sashing strip onto one unit, then add the second unit to make a square. Add sashing strips to the top and bottom, press, add 2 strips to the sides. Press. At this point, theoretically your piece should measure between 26-1/2 or 27 square. Mine is 26-1/2. If yours is a bit different, no problem. It will all work out perfectly next week. Next week we will be making a lovely border to complete your topper or wall hanging, one Id never done before, but love it and will do so again.
Does everybody like this? I hate to say it, but I really love the way this turned out. One of my favorites of all 13 mysteries.
