Just for reference, that pile is about 2' x 3', and about two feet tall. Now that the strip sewing is all finished, I can't wait to watch this quilt take shape. Since I grabbed strips from my piles randomly, I won't have any control whatsoever over color distribution or fabric placement, and because I have no idea how long this strip is, I don't even know how big this quilt will be. It's all an exercise in letting go. Since I love scrappy quilts so much, I'm just taking it on faith that I am going to love the finished product. We shall see.
Before we party, check out the highlights from last well. Sandra at mmm quilts shared this powerful quilt-

Without further ado, let's link up!
1. You can link finished projects or WIP's , but just keep it about quilting and sewing!
2. Link to your specific post (not to your home page!) to make it easier for others.
3. Please remember to spread the word and post my button or a text link within your

*If you're new to the party, here's a helpful tip for linking up- select "Auto Crop" when selecting your thumbnail photo. For some reason, trying to crop your own image results in the dreaded "white question mark box," and we definitely want to see your awesome work! :)
Wow! I never would have guessed that pile of sewn strips was SEW big!!!
ReplyDeleteLOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THE STRIPS TURN INTO A QUILT TOP - BIG OR SMALL - GOOD LUCK :)
ReplyDeleteThat pile of strips is impressive. I can't wait to see what it looks like when you're done.
ReplyDeleteThat is a pile!! I can't wait to see how this turns out. A leap of faith and letting go!!
ReplyDeleteOh I can hardly wait to see this together!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to what happens with your extra, extra, extra long strip. I have a somewhat similar plan for a stack of solid squares. Random cutting and sewing of 2-3 colors stack and whack style. Not sure were it will go. Just haven't been sewing much lately.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out! I can't wait to see how your random strippy project turns out. I made one using the same method, except I put black and white spacer squares between the strips, and I love the result.
ReplyDeleteThat is a LOT of strips -- and they're only 1.5" hum... I'm wondering what is coming from all that sewing. I'll be checking back to see.
ReplyDeleteI think your string-piecing idea is great! I wish I had so many strings, but I've used-up all mine starting a braided rug. I've run out of strips (not scraps!) to add to my rug, so it will be a long while until I have a useable something to put on the floor. You've shared some pretty quilts here. It's always nice to see what others are making.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what the pile is going to become. Good luck.
