Strip Cocoon Pattern 163

I’ve been looking for a way to use up my scrap 2-1/2" strips, and this pattern made it so simple to cut and sew. The instructions for each size are clear, so I could pick the lap version for my niece without any guesswork.

I love that this pattern gives you four sizes—it’s basically one investment and I can make a crib quilt for a friend and a queen for my bed. The instructions for the 2-1/2" strips are so clear that I finished the lap size in one weekend.

I’m not usually a pattern person, but the way this breaks down strip piecing into four clear sizes meant I could start with the crib version and scale up later without any guesswork. The instructions for the twin/full layout were especially clear, so I never felt lost mid-project.
