Fabric Requirements

Backing 1 1/8 yds.
Other Materials
See-through template plastic
*See Planning.

Planning
This pattern was designed to use just the fabric found in a Moda Jelly Roll pre-cut pack. The pack includes 40 assorted strips 2 1/2" x width of fabric (WOF), each laser-cut from fabric in the 3 Sisters Sanctuary collection, making patch cutting much faster and easier. To order online, visit www.plantedseeddesigns.com.

Because of the pre-cut dimensions, half-square triangles are constructed in an unusual manner; follow cutting and piecing instructions carefully (see Diagram III). Template A triangles are cut from strip sets made in Step 2. To make Template A, trace on see-through plastic, including seam lines and line labeled "align with seam". Continue with Step 2.
