Eleanor Burns' Trip Around the World vs. regular strip-pieced method
I have four sisters and I want to make a (not too difficult) lap quilt for each of them. I was thinking about a trip around the world. I watched Eleanor Burns' video of her method and wondered how much easier it is than the traditional strip piecing method. With Eleanor's quilt, you don't have to match all seams when putting the rows together, I believe, just when you are putting top and bottom halves together. Of course, that was a baby quilt and a little larger quilt might have a different amount of matching.

Here is a link to Eleanor's quick trip around the world, which is the one I meant to ask about.

I've made 2 Tip Around the World (queen size) using Eleanor Burns book and they are so easy to do. In the process of cutting a baby quilt. This is the only method I've use. Good luck with which ever method you choose.

Thank you for the comments. I'll think about it! I know I want to make my sisters lap quilts, but just haven't settled on fabric, colors, etc. And I keep changing my mind about the pattern--at this rate they'll be old(er) women before I'm done (or even start).
