Weekend Whatever#12 - Part#6 : Large Size

I hope the layout will surprise you...at least a bit. And that you've had fun at least. I know that the blocks frustrated some of you, but frustration can be a learning experience...and I hope this one was at least that.

Your border strips can be whatever colors/fabrics you choose...the graphics only show the colors that I liked when I was drawing.

Step Directions
1 Join Row 2 to Row 2 as shown...press whatever way the fabric wants you to. (Diagram 6.1)
2 Join Row 3 to Row 4 as shown...press whatever way the fabric wants you to. (Diagram 6.2)
3 Join the units from step#1 to units from step#2 as shown...press whatever way the fabric wants you to. (Diagram 6.3)
4 Attach Row 1 units to units from step#3...press toward border strip. (Diagram 6.4)
5 Join the units from step#4 to each other as shown to create the top. (Diagram 6.5)
