That would be a fabulous use for these beautiful fabrics. There's a tutorial here on the board someplace. It's under "Jelly Roll Race". These would make neat 9-patches, too.

It's hot & humid & miserable here in WI, too. DH pointed out today that even the weeds are wilting! And our A/C picked yesterday to go belly up! Thank goodness the nice A/C guy came right out & fixed it but still... whew!
