  • 5/8 yard binding
  • 4 & 1/2 yards backing

After cutting the fabrics accordingly, take one junior jelly roll and place one fabric C on top and one fabric B on the side. Put fabric C and the jelly roll right sides together and sew with a scant 1/4″ seam. Press open, then add fabric B with the same method. After this, trim the excess fabric.

Step 2

Make 36 pieces of these blocks. Next, when you lay out your blocks, lay out six across and six down. Then, take your blocks and rotate them. Lay out the blocks first before sewing so that you can make sure you have no fabrics and colors touching.

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
