Another new project........
I have been making the 16 patch quilts with 2.5" strips and they are ending up large lap quilts. I decided to use some of my (3 boxes full) of 2" strips and try some wallhanging size pieces. They would also qualify for baby quilts. I started out with my regular quilting cottons and later in the evening pulled out the first box of batiks and sewed some more strips sets. I will press and slice them today. I will still only get 2 blocks per strips set.

Those squirrels are better than any acrobat I have ever seen. I missed your post yesterday with all my Monday chores.
Your new strips are just beautiful, florals are so sharp and as usual color just jumps off my computer screen.

Have fun with all your new strips.
Pure eye candy . . .
I showed my SIL your 16 patches along with 2 other patterns I thought would work well for my niece's wedding and she chose the 16 patch. Tedi's colors are nuetrals, browns, tans, and greys and I am using batiks-finally get to make a 16 patch! My DIL also likes that design and am collecting fabrics for her as well.
If you get two blocks from strip set on the 2" strips you much have "left overs" at the end. What do you do with the leftovers?
More pretty fabric!
