I made the two from the jelly roll last year and just made them again last week. I did not use a jelly roll this time. I just cut 16 of the 2.5 strips from my own fabric collection. They came out beautiful. This is a fun, easy, and rewarding project to make. Thank you for posting the pattern for all. Another thing I did was cut a 2.5 border for the trees and put a 2.5 square under the tree for a trunk. So cute.
