After that, I could see that I needed to reverse the starting point to get the pieces to line up how I wanted. I'm so glad I didn't sew multiple rows at once or I'd have everything staggered.
The second strip came together just as I wanted. Yay! And now I know how I need to tackle the last two rows. Once they're together, I'll need to assess border, batting and backing materials. I suspect I won't have enough on hand to complete this. It's looking pretty good so far.
