I know that I can't have yours so guess I'll have to do one of my own. Thanks for sharing. BrendaK
The finished blocks are 15 1/2. The first strip sets are 5 strips cut into 10 1/2 blocks the 6 strips cut into 12 1/2 blocks half the blocks are cut on a angle from upper right to lower left. the the other half are cut from lower left to upper right. The pattern called for 12 finished blocks for lap quilt, but I have 25 blocks. Due to my cutting error I cut all my block from upper right to lower left.

The pattern is called Strip Search and for my quilt I used 2 jelly rolls Holiday Medley by Kansa Troubles and some yardage.
