Thank you Michele - I made it up myself.

I played with the idea of a small square being surrounded by rectangles, overlapping each other - then coloured in a pattern with pencils - THEN worked out how to stitch it together. I worked out that if I cut the red rectangles in half, I could stitch it all in strips.
Here's my graph paper, the one on the left is the original and shows the base square, the one on the right is the one done after selecting fabrics.
It's all done with 2 1/2" wide strips - could be used with a jelly roll.

(I've only been playing with patchwork since April)

Thank you all for your great comments. I have another one to make - in 'boy' colours and with a different layout for the same pattern. Will post a picture later this week

Plan for the tablerunner
