You have your strips cut into "chunks." Now you will make 6" blocks by putting a little one and a medium one together. Or you can put three little ones together. How do you know which to put together? You guess, and you play and you experiment. Make a whole stack of these. They are like building blocks. Have some fun.Sew them together, using a 1/4" seam.
And then, of course, you iron them, pressing the seam to one side. You don't need a picture of that, do you?

Sewing Tip of the Day
Keep your sewing scissors sharp and only use them for cutting fabric. Using them to cut paper or cardboard or anything else will dull them. In fact, cutting fleece is very bad for them. (Did you know that fleece is made from recycled plastic bottles?) Avoid dropping them. This could cause a nick in the blade, which is bad. The only way to fix a nick in the blade is to have them professionally sharpened. Most fabric shops offer a sharpening service. Get a good pair of sewing scissors. Mom has had hers over twenty years. Cheap scissors don't work as well, are difficult or uncomfortable to use, and don't hold a sharp edge.

Hi Millie and team,
Just wondering if you fancy sending us a quilt here in New Zealand. A long way to travel and although it is still summer here winter will be here soon.
Puss was our cat with renal failure and she got skinny and would not eat much. Our vet was lovely and with the help of lots of visits and home sub cut fluids we kept Puss comfortable for the last year. Wee Puss died last September of renal failure which was no fun, but just before the new year Poppy moved in ,and she loves a good sleep during the day.
If you could find out how much postage is you could let us know on julieq@xtra.co.nz. Poppy would love one like the blue ones you have been working on.
Thanks so much,
Julie and Poppy

Oh, so that's why Mom has writing on her scissors. To tell the paper ones from the fabric ones. I thought she was just weird. (Well, she's weird anyway, but at least that one mystery is solved.)
Purrrrrrrrs,
your bud Pepi
