Sorting strips -

Is always fun - ;))

This was the first jelly roll -

I need five strips per strata -

So the top two in each of the five piles would be one set of strata -

The second two in each of the five piles would be the second strata -

And so on -

The last pile has the "singles" -

So I added the second roll to fix that -

And mixed them up a bit -

Then I realized that I was paying too much attention -

To spreading out the colors -

And not enough attention to the "values" of those colors -

This photo shows that the "values" are all over the place -

Do-over - LOL - ;))

Then I decided to make one pile for one set of strata -

It seemed to make more sense than the other way -

Re-do of the first four sets on the left -

And the second four sets on the right -

I swapped a couple here and there -

And this is the final grouping -

Each pile will make 2 strata - and 6 identical blocks -

Eight variations - for a total of 48 blocks -

This version may not have the same distinctive "lines" as
Upstairs/Downstairs - Meredith -

But the "value runs" should help them play together nicely -

We'll soon see - LOL - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
