MAKING THE DIAGONAL SQUARES BORDER



OK,so now I have an assortment of purple fabrics cut into 2-3/4" by 2-3/4" squares. I sewed the squares to each other in long planned out strips of 9 squares. Each strip moves from light to dark in value. 



After I had several strips sewn , I pinned and joined the strips to each other, staggering the the first color in the row each time. 



TO form a corner, I laid the strips on the floor to figure out exactly where to add and delete squares.
