I won a lot of 2.5 inch stripes of all different kinds of fabric that I challenged myself to use up. I decided to keep them simple and just sew the strips together. After sewing the strips across (17 or 18) I then cut at ten inches down from the top, then added a strip of fabric across and sewed the top and bottom back on. Careful to keep the lines in the same color direction. They make easy baby quilts and I only used the strips I won. Its amazing how they turned out. I have a neighbor, Vernice that has a new grand baby called Addison so this was a fun and easy quilt I made for her to give. I used my couching foot on my Handi Quilter Forte longarm to freehand the name Allison on the quilt to personalize it. The yellow one is a spare for when I need a baby gift I am ready. These quilts are very addicting and would be fun to make with a jelly roll! I hope this inspires you to start sewing your strips together and making quilts!
