Y'all are welcome to make this quilt anytime! The hardest part was opening the jelly roll and charm pack. Here's how I did it. Open the jelly roll and charm pack and match up a strip to a square of the same pattern. Out of the pairs, you will get 6 6.5 strips and 2 2.5 squares. Cut the charm into 2.5 squares so you now have 6 outsides and 6 centers. Out of the single strips, you will get enough for 4 blocks and out of the single charms you will get 4 centers. Since no two jelly rolls and charms are the same, you never know what you are going to get. If you end up with not enough centers, cut some strips down. Of course, scramble the centers so you have different arrangements. Each block ends up 6.5 square but I cut mine down to 6 inches since, I am never perfect on seams. Then decide how large you want your quilt to be and make enough background blocks to finish the quilt. Sew together and you've got it. I liked 3 solid rows of color and two light rows of white on the top for the offsided effect. Picking random blocks out of the paper bag was fun since I knew I could rearrange the rows. Oh and if you alternate the seams across the blocks, you won't even have to match those. Have fun!
