Plan B -

I changed my mind - to Plan B -

And then I changed it back again - LOL - ;))

Plan B was going to use the jelly roll by itself with the "regular" pattern -

Bento Box - HERE -

So I re-sorted the strips into pairs -

And was going to go from there -

I had decided that I didn't want to mess with trying to figure out how many strips would make how many blocks and then cut 2-1/2" strips in half lengthwise - and then match those to charm squares -

And BOB's wasn't in the mood to "just wing it" -

So I said to heck with it -

I was going to do it the way I KNEW would work -

And save the charm pack -

And the "winging it" -

For something else - LOL - ;))

But that was yesterday -

And after sleeping on it -

I changed my mind back again - to Plan A - ;))

I don't have that many matching jelly rolls and charm packs -

So if I'm going to try this new method -

It might as well be with this set -

I have no idea how it will work out -

But it DOES eliminate the "sewing stuff to the wrong side" -

And it makes 4 "quarters" at the same time -

So that might make it worth it -

And then I had a flash of brilliance - LOL -

Instead of trying to figure out how many strips would make how many blocks and then cut 2-1/2" strips in half lengthwise - and then match those to charm squares -

I decided to "reverse it" -

Start with the "charm squares" - and go from there -

The pack has 42 squares -

So I'll try to make 42 blocks - DUH!! -

I could get a 6 x 7 layout with 42 blocks - 60" x 70" -

Which is a decent size -

So I sorted the charm squares roughly into "darks" and "lights" -

And decided to use the gold ones on the "light" side -

So I could get 21 of each -

"Value" is relative -

So this might work -

But - if not - I can always change it up as I go along - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
