I sewed 12" strings on the diagonal, them trimmed them to 10.5. I cut each block into 4ths and sewed the off white background to each piece, then alternated the string center and the white center. When I made the Large block, somehow I messed up the math and they were supposed to be 12" squares, but ended up 13.5, so I had to trim them down. I bordered ot with blue and the white, and simply wrapped the backing around for the binding. It took me about a month, but because I didn't have to be real accurate on the string piecing, I could work on it when I wasn't feeling well. I am proud of this mostly because I was able to do it being really really sick and it didn't turn out half bad, and the design is my own.
