Supplies - from the Lost and Found collection

1/2 yard of each of Gray Round, Pink Round, Pink Labels, Black Dot, Pink Dot and Basic Shades Slate.

Binding: Cut 2 1/2" strips out of Basic Shades Slate.

From the Pink Main strips, cut 48 - 4 1/2" x 2 1/2" , and attach to one side of each of the coloured " squares. Again from the Pink Main strip, cut 48 6 1/2" x 2 1/2" and attach to an adjacent side of the square as shown. Do this for all squares.

You are going to assemble 2 different blocks, each 12 1/2" and make 6 of each. Here is the first block:

Here is the second block:

Arrange by taking each set of 6 blocks and from one pile, put one block with the black polka dots at the top, and from the other pile put a block with the black polka dots at the bottom. Alternate blocks with 3 across and 4 down.
