Navy mottled cutting:

First step — Change (16) 1″ x 5 1/2″ strips to (16) 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ strips

Last step — Change to 2 strips 3/4″ x WOF; cut into (16) 3/4″ x 5″ strips.Completing the Quilt

Step 1 — Use the 3/4″ x 5″ navy strips on the sides of the panels and 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ navy strips on the top and bottom.

Quick Fix

If you have already cut the strips 1″ wide and already added the 1″ x 5″ strips to the sides of the panels, trim 1/4″ off each side to make the bordered panels 5″ tall x 5 1/2″ wide. Then trim the 1″ x 5 1/2″ strips down to 3/4″ x 5 1/2″ before adding them to the top and bottom.
