The scrappy one was done with a jelly roll. There are two different strip sets. Dark-Light-Dark-Light-Dark and Light-Dark-Light-Dark-Light. You just need to make twice as many of the second strips sets as you do the first. Sub-cut strip sets into 10 1/2" blocks for the alternate blocks. Sub-cut first strip sets into 2 1/2" segments to make the checkerboard blocks.Appalachian Mercantilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00131903078689676377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31201479.post-9113630900205650412011-05-20T06:27:37.270-05:002011-05-20T06:27:37.270-05:00This is a really striking quilt!

I especially love the scrappy version. Do you know the name of the original pattern and is it available for sale? Looks like it would be a fun quilt to make using a jelly roll of choice. Thanks for sharing and congrats on another finish! Way to go! HUGS... and stitchesChristiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15869104803800761328noreply@blogger.com
