Directions:

Step 1

To start, unroll your jelly roll and arrange them according to your liking. Once you’re satisfied, place the right sides together and sew two pieces together on the long edge with a 1/4″ seam allowance. When you get to the end, do the next seam in the opposite direction of the previous strip. Continue adding new strips until you complete the rows.
