First I sorted out my Jolly Bar by color family! This helps you choose which ones you will use in the block Choose (8)   (if you have 4 color families such as I did, 2 of each)! If you look at the center of the finished block it should have  all (8) fabrics in it! That is how I knew I did it right.
