First time to post here,

~ welcome carol. i am a wing it diy make it yours kinda person unless i really need a new gadget. it's easy to measure 3"-3.5" inches into a 6.5" square tapering off to the end and cut out a template to use. but there is room for all of us as quilters, the gadget folks and the diy folks.

~ and thanks ljfox. i didn't know the name of the pattern. i saw the quilt hanging in my lqs and just snapped a pic of it.

Thanks!
I love this idea. I have a drawer full of 2.5" strips.

Wish I had a drawerful of strips too, but I love this design so maybe I'll keep it in mind for a baby quilt I want to make. With lots of blues in it for a boy.

Thanks for the link.

Cute!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the link -- I like the look of the block and I do have a lot of scraps.

I, too, would like to make my own strips. My question is where you join the strips, do you cut the strip straight across or on a diagonal?

sewellie not sure of your question but if you look at the moda bakeshop pattern it will give directions on how to make this quilt. both quilts are essentially the same pattern just a different number of strips and width of the diagonal strip. i hope this helps.

Wow I also have a bin full of strips this pattern is a keeper thanks for posting
