Do you ever have a project you want to work on but need the 'leftovers' from another? This is the conundrum I found myself in...

I want to use the 'leftover' 3.5 in strips to use with this panel.

First I needed to finish up the 1/4 log cabin blocks from the February/March demonstrations.

I paired up my remaining strips and set to work.

I decided to use what I had and make a quilt for my friend Bernice who supplies quilts to the local VA. The VA wants Bernice's quilts to be 48 x 48.

pattern: 1/4 log cabin block: public domain

This veteran's quilt left me with the 3.5 inch strips I needed for the panel quilt.

I sewed the 'leftovers' short end to short end, then cut the 'jelly roll strips' at 4 inches longer than the panel. I then sewed the strips together on the long side and straightened the one end. I sewed that strip piece (5 on the top and 9 on the bottom) to to the panel. Now to add my borders...
