I downloaded a pattern. I think I got it from Pinterest. However, I did have to modify it a bit. The pattern called for 10 1/2inch strips for the long rectangles. Since I was using fabrics from a 10 inch layer cake, my strips were a half inch shorter. Plus I trimmed each block to 9 1/2 inch long to ensure that the edges were even and that the blocks were exactly the same length. The pattern also called for borders. I'm making this quilt for myself. I like to have a throw quilt when I'm relaxing in my recliner. Since I'm shorter than average (4'10" ) the quilt is big enough (46 x 54) even with the shorter blocks and no borders.
