Here is a tutorial for the H blocks. I do not prewash the fabric. I cut 2" strips of the fabric; 2 contrasting fabrics needed for each set of 2 blocks.
I am showing the cutting of 2 sets of fabric here. I would usually be cutting 5 sets at the same time for time efficiency.
I always put the dark fabric on the bottom and the lighter one on top. You can see your cuts on the lighter fabric.
I trim just the smallest amount off at the selvage. Then I make two 8" cuts and one 3.5" cut.
Take the little piece that is leftover at the fold end, unfold it and cut one 2" piece from it.
This makes one dark background block and one light background block from each pair of strips.
If you make an H quilt please email me and show it to me. I would love to see all of the variety of fabric choices.
