Oh my! This beats cutting teeny pieces!What size do you cut the strips in step 6?
Those blocks are beautiful, you have me at hourglass blocks, then you went another step further.
I am looking forward to seeing what you are making :-)
Beautiful blocks!
Be great to see the flimsy complete..
I am betting the trimming took some time. I love how you showed a picture of the trimmings. I should think to do things like that.
Looking forward to seeing it come together......
