Cut pieces in the following order. Designer Lissa Alexander pieced together the short ends of strips before cutting the length needed for some positions. To add interest, she sometimes joined strips from different prints of the same color. To plan the quilt in your own colorway, use the Coloring Diagram on Pattern Sheet 2.
