I'm once again participating in the Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge hosted by Sarah @ Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
My quilt started out with 2.5-inch strips, sewn together on the long edge. I cut the strip set into three sections: 19.5 inches, 8 inches, and 12 inches.
I followed a Rockin' Rectangles tutorial shared by Sarah. I think next time, I'll cut the strips into sections before sewing them together. I think it would be a little easier to manage. I used Kona Sky for the accent pieces, which are 8 inches wide.
My quilt will be going to Victoria's Quilts Canada. The organization gives quilts to Canadians living with Canada. They request quilt tops only, so my top is technically "finished" even though it's not quilted.

Lovely top and a great cause.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great use of scrappy strips :)
ReplyDeleteLovely top that's sure to bring comfort.
ReplyDeleteOh how cute!!!!
ReplyDeletePerfect! It is going somewhere terrific and your part is done. Congrats.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute Anja. I get your point about cutting the strips first. It is a trick to cut something so long into straight chunks. This looks really nice though and is a great use for some extra 2 1/2" strips. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteLove the bright strips. Very cheerful quilt. It is a great easy pattern for a comfort quilt.
ReplyDeleteIsn’t that a fun quilt to make?! I love your joyful colors.
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to make a strip and flip quilt of my own. Yours uses such a fun array of colors and fabrics!
