a quickie


Did some cutting last night, from my whole 30's stash i made some fat 1/8ths: 9" by 21".
They will be part of a swap. So I was left with the remains of those strips, and they must have been in the back of my mind... Today after dinner I decided to try out a new design.

16 remaining strips in 5 rows

sewing the strips

cutting a few strips in 6.5" + 2.5" and a few in 2* 4.5"

rearranging on the batting

and sewing together all the strips

The top was done in less than two hours. And I like it. A utility quilt top, quite girly...




Very poor light - sorry about that.... But you get the idea. The top is about 40" * 55".
I am sure this will work well in different style fabric and colorscheme. Fun and easy. A quickly made christmas gift? (OK - I know I have to quilt it, too..)

Great to see the design evolve picture by picture. The light is horrible these days, isn't it, only a few hours of proper light a day!

You are so busy these days. You make the rest of us feel lazy! That's ok you are young and full of energy. I love this idea. Wouldn't it make a great baby quilt, quick and easy?
