Instructions
I used a fussy cut center of ballerinas, then cut off a couple corners of that cut, added various widths of strips in a clockwise manner until it was the size block I wanted, then squared it up. I added a solid border around that and then matched block size for the alternating coordinated blocks.Difficulty:
