Wow they are big!!

These 4 blocks together measure 32.5" square. That's huge. I guess I should have known the size of the block when the longest strip was 16.5" but it still surprised me. 4 down 32 to go. These are a couple of the layouts in the whole quilt, the one above the center and this one below what the diagonal lines will look like in the barnraising.
I thought each block was rather ugly when I got them done, but once I saw them on the computer screen I didn't think they looked so bad.




I have a bunch more partial blocks made too but now I need to cut some more pieces before I can continue.
