Stripy Scrappy |
This photo, which I forgot to crop, is of a scrappy strip quilt. I mentioned the process a couple of days ago. It is quite simple. Sew 2 1/2" wide (or whatever you want) strips end to end. My ultimate length was 1600 inches. Place the two ends, right sides facing, together and sew along one long, long side. Cut the fold. Bring the two new ends together, sew and repeat until you have the desired width. I used pieces of varying lengths and tried not to repeat but did get a few the same (hard to remember them all). Because of the process, the strips will repeat in anyway.
I am going to back as is without adding borders.
Blessings,
Hi Anna - I actually enjoyed your little "tongue-in-cheek" story. I must admit I did a bit of a double take initially knowing what I know about you but I quickly realized that you were "pulling our legs".
ReplyDeleteMy hubby won't have any animals or fowl that would require butchering as he knows I would be doing exactly what you did with your chickens! He even bought me a book a few years ago called "Don't Name the Ducks"!!! We live in an old ranching community and the women just shake their head at me and my indoors cat and dog!
Love your quilt - great job!! Lori S.
