I have had this quilt in mind for a long time. Actually it will be 2 quilts. It is easier to chain piece onto a second one than to take it off the machine after each strip. I will continue adding rounds until it is a lap size quilt. I might add a wonky triangle border to one before I add the last few rounds. I am using my cutaway strips so they are crooked, sometimes with a curve on them so it will take some heavy duty pressing to tame them before quilting.
I'm loving them already! When I do cutaway strips I've started making the cut at least 1-1/2" or wider if I have enough fabric. Gotta love those strings!
I think these would also look great as 4 giant blocks, gotta love it either way!
Here you go playing again--and we get to enjoy watching you have fun. What will you do when a side is longer than a WOF strip? seam a couple matching ones together? use any two? or stop at that point? Just wondering.

Looks great so far! Looking forward to its progression.

Very attractive so far. I think it is a great idea.
ReplyDeleteI want to do some placemats like that with my hand dyed scraps. Maybe I can get that on my list soon!
ReplyDeleteLooking good!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see you back at the sewing machine!
Mindless? Those blocks are beautiful. Glad you're back to sewing some strips.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea to do two at once!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty for "mindless sewing".
