Like a bowl of jelly beans, fabrics mix in a jumble of color. To select fabric, choose a multi-colored border fabric to which you corrdinate the fat quarters, narrow border and binding. This project begins with simple strip sets cut into squares. Then, there are multiple layout possibilites. The hardest part of this pattern is deciding which layout to use! As long as the fat quarters have a useable width of 19-1/2", even flannels may be used. The techniques used here are very efficient and there is minimal waste of material. Four sizes are included, 51" x 63", 65" x 89", 78" x 102" and 92" x 116" Skill Level: Experienced Beginner

*Fat quarter must be at least 19 1/2" wide after selvages are removed. Long quarters will not work.
**These will be set aside and only used if needed. If fat quarters are 19-1/2", the insurance fat quarters may not be necessary.
