My brain wasn't "online" when I was taking pictures in the classroom, so they are all mixed up and require lots of searching and moving images around. Guess I'm getting old, it isn't as easy as it once was! Hope these make sense to you.
These are my cut blocks before "mix and match". With more experience I believe one could determine which rings work best and which need to be wider or thinner. Many of us found that we were cutting too many rings that were the same circumference and didn't play well with others.
Here are the circles the way I mixed them up.
These are the scissors that Sue recommends and that students found very useful.
This is Mary Lou Weidman's table. Several students used polka dots which worked very well, giving a sort of "happy" sense to the blocks. Mary Lou also used some plaids and checks.
Michelle Joanou took the class about seven years ago and brought her finished work to show and tell. I think this is 16 blocks.
Another piece by Michelle Joanou Ten blocks?
Molly Evangelish'a blocks laid out on the table with the dark background showing.
Molly Evangelish's blocks pinned side by side - they look so different.
Suzie Costantino worked with one type of flower and we could name it.
It is the passion flower.
Joanne Hinkel's eleven blocks and her first project.
Andrea Bair's twelve blocks spread on her table.
Andrea Bair's 1st project plus the "reject" block which she has quartered and reassembled.
More tomorrow if I can get them sorted.

Some projects, after the squares have been cut apart, have no resemblance at all of the original blocks! Amazing....
