INSTRUCTIONS:

My layout is 5 squares in 6 rows = 5 x 6

After much arranging and rearranging I have settled on the sequence of original release – in other words squares are set to release date. Starting with square 1 and ending with square 30!

Layout can be done in anyway – squares can be added, omitted or removed.
Depending on color/colors used layout design will vary.

I have started to join my squares using the simple method of yarn and needle with the whip stitch!
I felt that with each block being unique and textured, I wanted to keep things simple.
With having a border still to add – I also wanted something that would go quickly!

I have gathered some joining methods that can also be used.
Joining is a matter of personal preference 🙂
