Stacks 2
With the stacks, not only does the print help me decide what blocks to make, but the size of the repeat also plays a part. This fabric has a very small repeat, not quite six inches. Normally, I make my octagons with a 3.5 inch strip, but I can make them smaller with a three inch strip. Not quite enough here to get two, three inch strips, so I'll do one three inch strip for octagons and a 2.5 inch strip for stars. After I have some of each block made, I'll work on some kind of setting.
