Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I was looking for a solution to incorporating some striped fabric into a quilt and came across Struggles with Stripes from the Bad Ass Quilters Society. It didn't solve my problem -- still struggling with those darn stripes -- but it was really interesting. Hope you enjoy it!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
went to the site......personally think the name of it is totally unnecessary, but thats JMHO.....anyway.......nothing there would help you. All that person did was gather a bunch of pics from various sources, with his/her own comments about them, at best and wrote a 'paper' on the subject......dah!!!!!!!!! BTW sorry you are struggling w/d...... stripes. Ask someone here, maybe you can get some GOOD advice. And I did not think that site was interesting..........just blah, blah,blah!!!!!!
I really liked the ideas I got from the website. I have a lot of stripes and do use them, but not often enough. Not all quilters have the experience that you do Geri B. We on this board are typically inspired by beauty that others create and the websites they find that help us out. And what is beauty to one could look like a mish-mash to another. That is just no reason to bash someone bringing something to the board that others may appreciate. I hope you have a GREAT day today and may your quilts be beautiful.Originally Posted by Geri B
Happy Quilting!
Sew a Little, Love a Lot & Live like you were dying!
WELL SAID ...
Learning something new everyday from all of you.
I am sorry you feel that way, I went to the site and was very impressed with it to the point that I had to see the whole thing and loved every moment of it and I learned a lot. I added it to my favorites to see it again and again because I plan to use strip fabric and will have this site to teach me with the fabric I buy and put it in my next quilt!
Geez Geri B, tell us what you really think! Personally I thought your comment was totally unnecessary!
I personally refused to use stripes! Ugh...makes me cross eyed when trying to cut it right and ends up being crooked.
So I give all mine away :}
take plenty of pic of family & friends, keep tabs on loved ones but make time for yourself !
Couldn't agree more...along with no quilt police, we might want to accept language police to take a breath and allow others their space...if it's not to bad ass an idea. (Read the Bad Ass creed.)
To each her own! I liked it. Sorry you didn't.
