Directions:
Step 1
Open up your jelly roll, then separate them into sets with 3 strips each, and sew each set together with a ¼” seam allowance. Give them a nice press, then use your triangle ruler to cut each set into 6½ triangles, you should have a total of 96 triangles when you’re done. Lay the triangle pieces so that it creates a larger triangle making sure not to put the same pattern of triangles next to each other.

Step 2
Now, start sewing the triangles together with a ¼” seam allowance, then repeat with the rest of the triangles, and then cut 36 large triangles from your background fabric making sure it’s the same size as the large triangle you pieced together. Assemble your rows as shown in the video, then sew them together in a row, and proceed to sew the rows together.
