Block Party: Strip Pieced Block w/ Variations
This block looks challenging but is actually simple to construct using strip piecing with 2-1/2" WOF strips. The trick is in the sub-cutting which will give you a variety of layout options to choose from before sewing the sub-cut blocks back together. Each completed block is 12-1/2" unfinished.
