charisstomaCoin Quilt with a Little Pizzazz
50" x 50" Twin size
1 Jelly Roll - 20 strips (2 1/2" wide)
2" wide solid, black or white.
Take 4 strips and sew them together,contrasting strips. (green and a bright, a yellow-y color),
put right sides together and sew them 1/4" on the side.
Sew 2 together in this manner.
Repeat with 2 more strips.
Press these open then sew these 2 sets of 2 to make a set of 4, nice and flat.
Now we’re going to take these two and sew them together. We’ll put them right sides together, like this, and we’re just going to sew these together and make a set of four.
To speed up cutting the strips, fold the set in half lengthwise, trim uneven edges on the ends to make them all the same length.
Make sure the strip set is lined up straight on the cutting mat line.
Cut to the same width as a charm pack, ~5". Cut the whole strip into blocks.
Sew two strips to either the side of the strip block, trans-wise across the 4 strips, to make a square block.
Strips 2" wide each or whatever width so that the block ends up square.
Do one side at a time, chain sewing one strip block after another onto the long side strip.
Cut the chain to form the blocks and repeat with the other side.
Press.
Lay out like a fence rail with the look of a basket weave.
Alternate the sets; sideways, up and down, sideways.
