Sub-cut into 136 | 1-1/4" units. + + + + + Using 18 light strips, 1-1/4" x 11" and 9 red strips, 1-1/4" x 11 make 9 light|red|light strip sets (not shown) Sub-cut into 68 | 1-1/4" units Making strip sets is the easiest way to make multiple block especially when they are all the same color. For this project we will be making a variety of different size strip sets, here are the simple steps. 1. Sew strips together along length of strip in order outlined in each step. Example: light-red-light 2. Press seams toward the dark, being careful not to stretch and distort the strip set. 3. Sub-cut multiple units by cutting from narrow end of each strip set at indicated width. Using light|dark|light units and dark|light|dark units make 68 nine patches with dark corners. Finished block 2-1/4" square, 2-3/4" square including seam allowances
