(like these fun scissors)
Keep sewing pieces from your scraps to each side of the center block.
Sew the pieces using 1/4" seam and press
Trim the edges after pressing to square up the block
Build the block to the "unfinished" size you need.
Use this simple formula SCRAP, SEW, PRESS, TRIM
Use this simple formula SCRAP, SEW, PRESS, TRIM
My finished block is a 12 1/2" square.
Anna can use this size as is, or trim it down to fit wherever needed.
