I thought it might be nice to share what eventually happened after I posted this question. After our arrival in the states on April 26, I put together quilt blocks made from jelly roll strips to make a twin bed quilt for our new great grand daughter, Cadence Rose. *One set of strips was light pink; the second set was light pinks and spring greens; another was different prints of lavender and the last*Jelly*Roll*was strips of purples. *You can find other combinations at this site:*

This is a link to the tutorial that I only saw once before I started her quilt.

I sewed one strip from each set together to make a 8.5" wide stripe--just like the video shows. *From there I cut the striped set to be 8.5" squares. *Finally, I laid out two squares facing each other (going opposite directions) and stitched them around the outside on all four sides. *Then I cut from corner to corner (both ways) making four triangles and opened them up to put the triangles together to make the blocks you see.**
What I did turned out totally different than I had expected, but it was a nice “first time” adventure. Thanks for looking!
