I'm making a patchwork blankie for Micah and will be sending it to her so I'm thinking I need to fill up the box again and may throw in some mug rugs and place mats using the block.

I still used 2-1/2" strips and I did fold the ends instead of joining them like I do for my quilts and it was not bad at all. It only takes 5 minutes to sew the binding down but way more time to hand sew. I probably will bind by machine when I make more.somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455645182726396476.post-75654134488870082192017-12-08T08:49:11.331-06:002017-12-08T08:49:11.331-06:00I love a fun easy block and this one definitely fi...I love a fun easy block and this one definitely fits that bill.

Your block looks amazingly festive in red and white, I love that picture of the train on top of it!<br /><br />My husband has been asking me to make him some coasters, but I've been reluctant to do it because I didn't want to bind something so small, I thought joining the ends would be really challenging. But yours looks like you just tucked it in? Brilliant!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043276493816926286noreply@blogger.com
