Cute pattern.
So, not to scare you off it but I just want to mention three things that were not included (they never are) in the video or pattern but that, as a new quilter, you should be aware of before you start.
And they are not just relevant to this pattern
First:
Not all jelly roll strips are created equal.
It's kind of hard to maintain a perfect strip width, even with a perfectly sewn 1/4" seam allowance, if you start out with unequal strips.

This way you can be sure you'll end up with a 2" finished strip width.
Second:
When sewing strip sets, always alternate the direction when you add a new strip.
So after sewing the first two strips together top to bottom, turn the strip set and add the third strip (so what was the bottom is now going through the machine first).
This helps stabilize the strip set, and prevents it from bowing (which can happen if you're always sewing in the same direction). It's a torque thing.
In the case of this pattern, also alternate the directions when sewing the two strip sets together.
One side top to bottom, the other in the opposite direction.
And third (and MQC always does this):
When you cut those squares from the strip sets, please be very aware that the ALL the edges are exposed bias.
That means they are very stretchy.
And once you stretch bias, there is no unstretching it, and it can easily change the dimensions of your blocks.
So handle with care, and when you press the blocks, do it gently.
Same goes for when you attach the blocks together.
Otherwise, you could end up with a quilt top that has the topography of the Rocky Mountains.
You might want to starch the strips sets before you sew them together.
I'm a starch fiend, so I like mine to be as stiff as possible but I realize that's a personal choice.
However, some starch will help stabilize the strip sets so that when you're ready to cut those squares, they'll be less likely to stretch.
Other than that, go for it.
Enjoy the process and post pictures when you're done.
