Great idea for using up scraps. Are those 2.5 strips you used and what size blocks before assembling? Love, love this idea and I have lots of jelly rolls I have no clue what to do with too............as well as lots of scraps?

SoozieQ, I don't know the name of the pattern unfortunately. I spend hours "trolling" the web looking for ideas and saw one like it. If you go back to post #19 of this thread, I described how I made it. Real simple with just 2 pieces: a 6 1/2" x 3 1/2" rectangle and 3 1/2" squares!

snooze, I think you could make this quilt from 2 1/2" strips. I described how I made it in post #19 earlier in this thread: I used 3 1/2" strips as my starting point ( 6 1/2" x 3 1/2" rectangles and 3 1/2" squares), but I think you could adjust it to smaller size blocks with 2 1/2" strips.

I love the colors, the quilt. I love everything!!
Can you please tell me how long does it takes for you to do a quilt like this?
I'm a begginer, and feels that will take me months to do something like this...

Maggie, this one is real easy with just two sizes of pieces to cut. I don't keep track, but I estimate the cutting took me about 1-2 hours, piecing the top was done off and on in 3-4 days, probably about 8-10 hours total. I did simple SID quilting in about 3 hours, and the binding was another hour as I did it all by machine rather than by hand. So all in, I think it took me 13-16 hours total. It is a pretty quick quilt to make. I consider myself a confident beginner as I just started quilting 2 years ago. But no matter how long it takes, just try to enjoy the process! I am retired so have lots more time now to enjoy quilting. Hope that helps a little.
