Really like this, especially the fabrics your picked. Is this a strip piecing technique? Looks almost like foundation piecing on a rectangle with 2.5" strips, much like the technique used for string quilts. would be a great project using a couple of jelly rolls.

Very soothing. K. Fasssett does a diamond one but it has strong color and various sizes of strips.

yes, four strips sewn and rectangle template laid on them at an angle. just match lines (I marked on my template). the pattern shows all done in same fabrics. i had several to use for this, no large cuts. somewhere i have an acrylic template I bought to do something similar. there is a bit of waste with this method .
