By now you will have chosen your fabric, maybe even cut out a number of squares. It's a really good idea to lay out your squares in various order, in sets of 9. That's how many I finally decided to do, because I figured out that we're going to add a couple of borders. So, mix up your squares, trying not to get the same colour/pattern in the same pile, and make little piles of squares, ready to sew up.
This is a row of 9 squares. I ended up making 14 rows of strips similar to this.
For added fun, get somene fro your family to lie on the floor, cover them with the joined square panel to see if it covers well enough. It's more fun than measuring with a yardstick.....just make sure the person under the panel is not giggling too much. Very distracting.......Onto this panel you will add the borders. That comes next time. Until then.......sew your squares into strips, 9 squares by 14 rows.
