There were several pieces of strip piecing left from a previous African fabric quilt and one new dark pink set. There are 6 different sets here, green, blue, pink, purple, rust and gold. I need to remove the short strip from the rust set and then they will all be about 17" on their shortest strip.
As a reminder this is the quilt on which they will be used as borders. First I need to cut a border of the fabric in the photo below to go all the way around and then I will figure out what widths I will use for the strip piecing. The maximum width with 17" available will be 4.25" strips but I could make them all different sizes.
Border fabric.
Yesterday was a grocery shopping day plus clean up of the kitchen from baking for great-grandchildren the day before. I also had to wrap birthday presents for 2 of the children, one August birthday and one October birthday. Everything is on the way to them now.

nice to have a baking day now and then - I told my daughter I was going to make blackberry cobbler this weekend so I guess I better find the recipe.
I bet it wont take too long for you to finish this quilt
Just looking at this quilt top makes me feel like your elephants have stirred up quite a thrilling frame around them. . . Border choice looks like a perfect addition to the mix. It’s growing more exciting by the day.

This is going to be another super saturated scrappy beauty . . . have fun with those strip sets!
What a delicious border those strips will make and the outer border fabric is just perfect. Once again, you're on a roll!
Hugs!
