I saw those. But I wanted to use up smaller fabric, and scraps. I also wanted to use scrap batting so I could practice machine quilting with my darning foot.

cut 18" WOF one color 12" WOF for other color. you sew the long sides together so you have a tube. turn this RSO, press so there is an even edge on both side of the 18" fabric with the 12" fabric forming the inside strip. Trim ends even on each end. then(on each end) sew ends together to form a "V". turn, press, top-stitch all around.
there is no batting. takes an hour for the first one, 15 min. for the rest.
I have never posted pictures but probably should try because I'll bet this is clear as mud. if you have the strips in your hand, it is much clearer. it is reversible,but still need matching fabric (like both Christmas,both 4th of July, etc) because of the approx
1 1/4" fold along the edge.
