LOL I always use a red strip in the middle of mine, and blue on the corners, but they are going for soldier quilts, so that makes sense. Other colors go in between. And I use my 7" square ruler to square them up. I don't use a foundation paper or fabric, just start with that center 11" red strip and go from there, trimming as I go. Your blocks look great, and in no time you'll have enough. It's a great leader-ender project.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2035065886211353468.post-107874721637568912013-01-13T23:27:24.644-07:002013-01-13T23:27:24.644-07:00I like red and I like scrappy.

I have one block like this made, which I also did with paper piecing. I think mine's smaller, though as my book was smaller to begin with. <br /><br />I got a used book on the history of food, but just a little ways into it I realized the author had gotten something seriously wrong, so I didn't waste my time finishing the book. But, I looked at the paper and thought it might work for paper piecing, and it did. LOL So, it's being put to good use after all. :-) I have another simple design idea for those pages that will use up scraps other than strips too.Mary E.

And ask Tanya to make some without red to balance it out. <br />Isn't it just like a kid - most like playing with the box more than the toy that came in the box.
