SASHING REDO - PART B

Now the trick is to figure out how to keep the blocks as big as possible –

And to figure out how big those skinny gray strips should be –

OH CRAP!!

There’s that four-letter word again –

M - A - T - H !!

OH NO!!

THE HORROR!!  ;))

But never fear –

I am the QUEEN of FUDGING!

I’ll think of something!!

Ok – so first I have to make sure the side HST sections are the correct size –
Measure them against the ones I have made already –

And sew them to the side blocks –

Then do some MATH –

Quick calculation gets the skinny strip size in the range of 1-3/8” -
I don't know about you - but 1/8" measurements make me nervous -
Like it is cutting it SO close - I just KNOW I'm going to come up short -

So - I’ll just sew a 2” skinny strip to the other side of the side blocks -
2” is for insurance – I’ll trim what I don’t need –

So – after a little fiddling and fudging -

I got it together -

TA - DAH!!

I LIKE IT!!

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
