My first pieced quilt top....
#145
I am making a quilt with this same pattern except my medium value strips are two diffent prints. The horizontal are one and the vertical are another. The light value strips and the dark value strips are all the same. I know from experience that both the cutting and the seam allowances have to be exact or they won't fit together. Any little error gets multiplied when you are assembling it. Mine is red and white.

Don't hold your breath waiting for a picture. I am still in the strip cutting and testing stage. Maybe I could post a 4 block set when I finally get the width of the three strips to match the length exactly. I couldn't use the dimensions in the pattern because I wanted to use fabric I had already cut into squares for another quilt top I did. That one is in the sandwich stage. Also red and white of course since I am using the same fabric,.
