Or two sets is what I mean and this one right here. So I”m going to go ahead and cut this one right here. So I need two of the 2 ½ inch squares for each geese so then we’re going to have to cut four of those. And this gives me enough body, so two lights and two darks for four geese. So it’s going to be a 4 ½ inch block so I’m going to lay this down here longwise and cut my 4 ½ like this. And then I”m going to use my little 2 ½ inch ruler and I’m going to cut the base of my geese. Alright so what I’ve done is I’ve stacked them up here and I’m going to cut off my selvedge ends right here. But if you have a packet of strips that’s all colorful and you don’t really have lights and darks, you’ll actually have to bring in some background fabric because you want good contrast on these little geese. So and actually this works for this jelly roll because it is, because it has even numbers of lights and darks. Then I’m going to get a light square or a light strip over here, just like this. And then I paired a light with a dark like this and I kept them folded in half so that I can cut two at a time. So the first thing you want to do to get started is you want to separate your roll into lights and darks. We used that same fabric on the backing here. Now this backing, we used what’s out here in the border. And then your outer border out here, this is a six inch border.

You’re going to need about ¾ of a yard because these are one inch or 1 ½ inch strips. You’re going to need some sashing right here. So I wanted to be able to divide that evenly and I think it just came together so great.

One of the reasons I chose this roll for this is because I have just about even numbers of lights and colors.

So the fabric we’ve used for this is called Rhapsody in Reds by Kaye England for Wilmington. And I just, I just really wanted to see how many it would make. And I wanted to see actually how many I could make out of one packet of 40 2 ½ inch strips. The whole reason I made this was because I have a daughter that has a quilt that is made all out of flying geese. Isn’t this sweet? This is a great little quilt.
