Instructions
I was super inspired to make this project after watching the video. I had some pre-cut fabric squares I had gotten from a swap that were ten inches so changed the block measurements to fit the ten inch square.

What was your inspiration?
Elizabeth's original project. This is so clever and looked so fun on the video I just had to make one! Also, I have two sets of twins to make gifts for this winter and this was a great way to pick a solid color to highlight for each baby.
What are you most proud of?
Using what I had, meaning no trips to the fabric store to get more fabric, figuring out to make what I had work and taking a risk to work with colors in a way I had not done before.
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
It was tempting to cut a bunch of layers at a time event though the instructions were to cut them individually. I made a silly 1/4" mistake on my second set of 3 stacked fabrics which was a big bummer because I was trying to only use fabrics that I had. Oops. After that I went back to cutting them one at a time.
I am still working on this quilt top so if I come across anything else to add to this section I will!
