Valerie has designed a fabulous small quilt (approx 55”x45”), using your strip scraps or that jelly roll that has been talking to you – minimum 20 strips but more is good! (and later you might need to look out some co-ordinating fabric as this can be used for a border)

This project is suitable for all sewing levels and can be made by hand!
