Trimmin's

 The 52 blocks are all trimmed. Most were pretty close to 8 ½" square, so there's not too awfully big a pile of trimmings. Now to sew them together! (The blocks, not the trimmings, heh.)

 

Sorting Blocks

Sorting by value.

Now I've laid them in the order I want them in, and only need to trim and sew them together. I was one block short, and had to make another. How did that happen?? (There's probably a lost block loitering and hiding somewhere, giggling.)
