This old pattern is a gem!
Does this look familiar to you?
It looks like the log cabin but tweaked a little.

Next, cut a 2 1/2 square on the printed strip.
Sew the background squares on the side of the printed square with a quarter of an inch seam allowance.
Press the seam toward the middle.
Step 2:
Take the unit strip and sew a printed strip on the long side.
Press with an iron, then cut the excess.
Do the same on the other long side.
Step 3:
Get two background strips and sew them vertically on the sides.
Step 4:
Sew 2 more printed strips horizontally on the top and bottom.
Step 5:
Add another set of whites vertically on the sides.
Step 6:
Lastly, add 2 printed strips on the top and bottom.
Trim excess and press.
Now you have the first block.
Make 7 more for a total of 8.
You need 8 pieces of this block.
Step 8:
Arrange the blocks.
You need 4 blocks for each row.
The two blocks should alternate with the whites together.
For the next row, stagger them.
You should see that the colored strips make a block as well.
Sew them in rows first, then the rows together.
Step 9:
Take the little pieces of printed fabrics left and trim them into 3 inches.
Sew them in twos, then together in a row.
Step 10:
Once your blocks are sewn, sew a 1 1/2 border around them.
After that, sew the long strips you made around the quilt.
Lastly, sew a 6 inch outer border.
