Finally remembered graph paper
Making a pattern I've done before. Sew 16 patch to measure 8.5 square and then cut 4.5 white squares with 2.5" squares (scrappy) on opposite corners that make an X. (Sew and flip method.) Need 4 for the illusion of the X. Using odd jelly rolls. Last night started sewing JR strips together to cut into pairs and then 4 and then eventually block with 16 squares. Truly scrappy. Today picked up where I left off. But then a little voice in my head said, no shouted "STOP. GRAPH. COUNT." And to my amazement, I have enough "chunks" of scrappy to make the 18 that I need and probably just enough 2.5" squares for the X. So TY to the quilter here that told me graph paper is your best friend...I graphed out the quilt...and the voice in my head. Next will be to count the while squares but that's easier to manage.
