Mystery quilt block 9

It's the last day of January already. Amazing how time flies ...... the shops are already reminding us that easter is on the way...

OK, the final block in our mystery quilt is simple strips sewn together.

The next step involves putting together the block tops with the backing and batting.
You will need 1-metre (1 1/8 yd) of 100" wide cotton batting.
For the backing, which also incorporates the back sashing strips, you will need 2.10-metres (2 3/8yd) by width of bolt, fabric of your choice. If you prefer to make the back a truly patchwork design, you will need 6 pieces of different fabrics 17" x 18" and 3 pieces at 15" x 17".
For the front sashing and binding you will need 1/2-metre (4/8 yd) contrasting plain fabric.
