Because I can't count, I made 24 I's. I only needed 12.
I cut fabric for 24 H's before I caught myself. And I sewed them together in about 15 minutes and I didn't even take pictures. Oops.
So I used the extra crossbars from the H's to make the E's. How did I do that? Lemme show ya!
First I added a bit of background to one side of the "crossbar". I wanted the middle bar of the E to be shorter than the upper and lower ones.
After trimming them down (I wanted the middle space about 1/2") I sewed the orange upper
and lower crossbars.
I cut them apart and then trimmed the edge.
Then sewed the upright.
See? Twelve E's. These letters will finish out at the smallest size I think you can make them, which is 2-1/2" tall.
Which is the size of these letters on my tote bag.
Julie wrote to me, "I want to see you make 12 2-1/2" K's." She didn't say it like she didn't think I could do it. She said it like she was curious. How are you going to make your K's 2-1/2" tall?
If I can make a Q that size, I can make K's that size too, and I did, but it's past my bedtime. So I will show you tomorrow.
However, I will leave you with proof:
Those squares on my cutting mat are 1" (2.54 cm).

Where's the video cam when we need it?!?
You rock!
hey, you can make any letter smaller if you use 3/4 inch strips like I do! crazy!
Brenda, You can make them that teeny, but I think it's too much trouble trying to sew and press those tiny seams without making myself crazy and burning my fingers!
Oh and Julie, sorry I don't have four arms to sew and take video at the same time!
