    They are one inch strips that you fold in half and insert between the patched strips. The center back and center of the sleeves had a double flange so they were wider and are stitched so there is a fold going each direction. The pattern I used called for them and I think they set off the patchwork strips really well. The ones in my jacket are black.

    Thanks for the kind words everyone! It will make my mom very proud as she was my first sewing teacher and the swatches were her contribution.
