    Thank you all for your nice comments. And apologies to those I tried PMing suggestions to, I had a heck of time. So for everyone else putting this in their TO-DO's, here are some things I would recommend (for what its worth, LOL)
    1.YOU MAY WANT TO SPEND A LITTLE MORE ON THE STABILIZER…they call out “No Show Mesh Stabilizer”. I used what I had on hand and it worked but a bit bulky in certain points. (side note: I bought the “No show mesh stabilizer” from Nancys notions)
    2. cut the foundation stabilizer ½” larger than what they are calling out, then trim to size AFTER all your strips on sewn on. ALL stabilizers will shrink up from pressing.
    3. don’t use the stabilizer edge as a guide when trimming after strips are sewn on. Use your mat & ruler.
    4. pattern calls for ¾”,1”,1-1/4” and 1-1/2” strips, my suggestion here is probably most important tip: don’t use the narrower strips towards the outside of your squares, this causes more bulk you don’t want (in the corners)

    HAPPY QUILTING ALL!
