Finally decided what colours to use.

I kept coming back to....Flag. It looks like a flag...so red, white and blue it is.





Thanks @Pearl It's a lovely little block to put together.

No 12.5 x 12.5 here - but apart from that a lovely simple block to put together. Thank you @Pearl   [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

I reckon if you give that a damn good pressing you would find the hidden 1/4" ... its amazing what a damned good pressing can do ...

It needs 3/4”.  No pressing is going to release that, lol.

@fajita  you may well have misread the measurements ... Did you see the correction on the first page ??


Please note that the info for the second photo should read
For the plus (+) portion of the block
one rectangle 7 1/4" by 2 3/4" and
two 2 3/4" squares

I did see that correction.
Has anybody made it at 12.5” on first outing?
If I feel inclined I might try again tomorrow.

I enjoyed making this. I tried to be more accurate with my cutting and sewing. It reminded me of a flag too.
