Directions:

Step 1

Separate your strip roll into lights and darks. After this, make two different strip sets with three strips to make one unit. Now, you have strip set A and strip set B. You will need one of these for every two of the other kind of strip sets. Once you have your sets, sew each down their entire length, right sides together, then iron them to the dark side. Once you have your units sewn, subcut them to 6 1/2″ x width of sewn strips.

Step 2

Now, start mixed matching. Take three strips, making sure the little squares have different colors, then sew them together. Press them afterward. Now, you have your nine-patch, it’s time to make it disappear. Grab your ruler and cut them directly in half on both sides. Once cut, rotate them, placing the big squares in the center. Sew them together, then press. Repeat these until you have enough blocks to make the quilt top.
