I did three blocks- A dark with light center; A light with dark center; and the odd block. Jelly rolls could be used for this project to give you the variety. The blocks with the solid outer colors are both solid centers and some with 4 patch centers. The outer solid colors on some of the blocks are pieced. Hope this helps you some. Basically it is 2 1/2 Jelly roll size cuts to make most of the quilt.
Barb ~ I'm not the one who asked however, I just want to say thank you for the diagrams and solving the 'mystery' of how to construct this quilt!
I have observed the many times you have come to the 'rescue' of fellow members here with your EQ diagrams for those of us who are on the visual way of learning spectrum in deciphering quilt blocks. You example what this board is all about, sharing your time and knowledge with others. You have been so helpful to me in the past so just another cyber (((HUG))) for you.
Thank you soccertxi too for your drawings!
There are so many here on this forum who take the time to help with finding patterns, fabric, showing completed quilts which inspire and make our bucket lists grow. I personally think it's important to say thank-you every time, I too am guilty of 'forgetting' to say thanks in my hurried days and need to be more ummm more consistently thankful :0).
