I am on a campaign to promote 3 1/2" strips.  They show off so much more of the prints than 2 1/2", and the projects go so much more quickly.

This simple jewel of a quilt is made with 30 3 1/2" strips.  It can also be cut from 20  Fat Sixths (12"x 22") or  15 Fat Quarters.  With the Fat Quarters, you would probably have enough left over to do a pieced binding or add a pieced border.

For my model, I liked pairing up 2 similar colors, so it looks like a shaded square.  I also made it in our Asian strips.  I have seen it in totally scrappy, too, and it just sparkled.

The patchwork finishes 54"x 60" for a throw.  And you can also just keep going with more patchwork or borders.
