![]() ![]() And again I’m just going to finger press this back. And you’re always surrounding your middle square first. And we’re going to put this 3 ½ on this side and this 5 ½ on this side, alright? So let’s go do that. Alright so now we go to our color side over here. Ideally these should have lined up perfectly but that’s alright because it’s still going to work. It will be enclosed in the quarter of an inch seam so it won’t work. So now, alright so see right here where this is a little off right here? That’s not going to matter because I can put another strip on there. And I’m just going to set my seam there and roll it back, the one I already finger pressed open. Alright so we’re going to press this open. I always make those little mantras for myself so I don’t get lost. So that’s how you know that you’ve got it going on the right way. And just make sure when you add your strips like this right here, just make sure when you add your strips that the white always touches the white or the color always touches the color. Alright, let me press, I’m just finger pressing this back and then I’m going to put this strip on this side. Now the trick with this is that when you put smaller strips on one side, it gives it a curved look. So let’s go to the sewing machine and we’ll put on our two inch and a half white strips. So you always add two whites and two colors and two whites and two colors just like that. And then we’re going to add the other 2 ½ inch white. And this is the fun part about pre cutting your strips is because everything is just going to fit together. Alright so we’re going to take this 2 ½ inch strip and we’re going to put it on the side of our 2 ½ inch square. And I’m going to show you how it all works and it all goes together so easily. This is what it looks like when it’s all together, just like that. Now this is the block we’re going for right here. And you’re going to cut those 2 ½, 3 ½, 5 ½, and 6 ½. You’re also going to do the same thing with your 1 ½ inch strip. And then you’re going to have this extra piece leftover that you’re going to save for another project. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and a half. And then this last one is going to be 8 ½. And this next one is going to be one, two, three, four, five, six. One, two, three, four, five, I’ve already got my half at the beginning. And then we’re going to have a 5 ½ inch piece. And you will just want to make little stacks of these. And then I”m going to cut a 2 ½ inch block. First thing I’m going to do is cut off my little selvedge edge. You know like you could do four or so and get four cuts at once. So we’re going to open up our strips here and because we’re opening them up you may want to stack them up. But then you’re going to mix them all up. You’re going to take each strip and you’re going to do all the same cuts from each strip. Your backing here, oh a pretty print that we chose from the fabric line. Now the outside of our quilt right here you see we have no border on here. ![]() And for that you’re going to need 1 ¾ yards. Sometimes it’s fun to throw a little something different in the background. And we used this white that has this tiny silver fleck dot on it. If you cut your own yardage you’re going to need 1 ¾ yards to cut this. You’re also going to need a packet of inch and a half strips or yardage. So what you’re going to need to make this quilt are two rolls of 2 ½ inch strips and we have used this line Rosette for RJR. So that gives it a whole different design, a whole different pattern and it just looks really cool. The difference with this one is that the way you set the blocks and that your strips are different sizes. As a matter of fact it was the very first quilt I made was the log cabin block. That’s an old block that’s been around forever. Isn’t this great? So this is based on the old original log cabin. Let’s take a look at this quilt behind me. And I’ve got a fun project for you today.
