2 - WOF (width of fabric) 2 1/2" strips of 2 different colors.
This pattern is suitable for the use of layer cakes and jelly rolls, or cut from your own fabric.

Important Step:
Using your ruler as a guide (and the above 2 photos as reference) keep a 3" square on the smallest neutral corner while trimming your block to 12 1/2". This will keep all of your blocks uniform and all of the strips will match up from block to block if you choose a layout requiring this.
