I love the idea of using rectangles instead of HST. Thanks!

limasews.com has a free toddler chevron quilt pattern that is my favorite. It uses two- 5" squares, right sides together, mark the diagonal line corner to corner, sew 1/4 inch from the stitch on each side of the stitch line. Rotary cut on the marked diagonal method, square up(down) to 4.5" square. Fat quarter friendly!

Thank you! I used one neutral jelly roll and one "cotton candy" jelly roll (44 strips each), and my quilt ended up being 68" x 68". So you'll probably want to add some strips to make it king sized.

I love your quilt, Peckish! I have to think about how you made it scrappy.

Peckish, I don't normally care much for chevron quilts but your scrappy is just lovely.

There's a trick when sewing HST's together. I usually put a pin through the diagonal corner on the first one, then match it, pushing the pin through to it's pair. I've never found any other way to do it, in order to get them to line up. Otherwise, your points do not match. Good luck and be sure to post a picture when you're done.

I think this is what you were asking?

This is how I did it, for all 270 blocks - http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t270594.html
