So, this is the third in my strip quilt donation series after the Green Strip and the Purple Strip. Apparently, I am creating a series, though I am really just cleaning out my scrap drawers.
I worked on this Sunday as leaders and enders as I worked on the Fabric of the Year 2017 top. I made good progress on both. I am about 4 blocks away from having enough blocks to finish up this top. The sad part is that there is no appreciable lessening of my red scrap drawer.
I also forgot to take photos of the blocks as I finished them, so now I need to go back and figure out which ones are new.
Pretty soon I will be cutting a boat load of strips with my Accuquilt. I want to make a bunch of donation quilts this summer, for a local women’s shelter. I like your ideas on how to utilize my scraps as well as fabric that I have set aside for these quilts. You’re always such an inspiration!
I hope you will let me know how yours turn out. I cut my rectangles the size I did mostly because I have a ruler that size and it is convenient. You might consider using a very thin foundation if you need some stability. I don’t feel I need it, but some do.
Thanks for your kind words! And thanks so much for reading.
