Do you use 1.5" strips?
 

Usually, I see 2.5" strips, and jelly roll patterns for using those.

Just wondering if any of you have used 1.5" strips, and what you made from them.

well i use 1 inch strips of black inbetween blocks. but not 1.5 jelly rolls so far.

The 1.5 strips are good to make purses, wallets or other accessories with. Doll quilts or tiny pp projects.

I used them once to make a purse but I don't really like to work with such narrow pieces.

Log cabin blocks

My daughter does LC wallhangings - my Christmas tree is lovely. I am going to use 1 1/2" strips on the light side of my uneven LC, so a light precut pack would work. Other than just outlines and such, I haven't graduated to such narrow strips.

Other than a narrow sashing or border, the only 1.5 inch strips I use are scraps that I put into string quilts.

The "Snake River Log Cabin" uses all 1.5 widths.

I've made several rail fence quilts using honeybuns.

I used them for log cabin blocks, sashings for some patterns, the front face of Attic Windows frames and string quilts, but when I'm stocking up my stash of strips I always cut the 2.5"

Moda used to have Honeybuns (1 1/2 strips) but they don't make them anymore.

I use them for sashing and log cabin blocks.

I cut them up into 1.5" squares to trade like a lunatic! Haven't made anything with them yet...just collecting. :)

quiltyfeelings-
Where can I see the Snake River Log Cabin pattern?

2.5 or 3 inch for me.

I would use them for Log Cabin, Rail Fence, and as others said making smaller items like camera cases, wallets.

Log cabin blocks and inner borders, but no, not in jelly roll form.

We are cutting all our scraps into 1.5" bits to use in Pineapple blocks. We have Gyleen Fitzgerald's "Trash to Treasure" book and ruler.

I use 1" strips to cover the clothes line when I make fabric bowls.

String quilts.

String quilts.

I've got a foundation pieced pineapple in progress, and I've bought all the Kansas Troubles Honey buns and yardage necessary to make a king-sized log cabin quilt. I'm planning an Oh-My-Gosh with honey buns and one of my recent quilts has a bazillion 9-patches made of 1½" strips.

I love 1½" strips because they look so much more intricate than the 2½". :)

String quilts, also.

I love 1.5" strips! Great for LC blocks, for doll & mini quilts, a PS quilt, and for squares to swap! :)

Log cabin blocks with 3 inch centers look very nice.

I use 1 1/2 strips for hook rugs.

I nver knew that rolls existed of 1.5 strips. Ya learn something every day here.

Sometimes. But not nearly enough to actually BUY a group of 1 1/2" strips.

Never used them. 2 1/2" is small enough for me.

What is an Oh-My-Gosh?

the honey buns are used for a log cabin quilt

I bought a 1.5" jelly roll a number of years ago and couldn't figure out what to do with it. Finally made a string quilt on a foundation and I was very pleased with the results.

I use more 1.5 strips than 2.5 strips. I like the way the colors of smaller strips blend together better than 2.5. I have even cut jelly roll strips to 1.25 to get the better blending. I use the smaller strips in just about everything. Log cabin is a favorite , but pineapple , and just about any strip method quilt can be modified /reduced scale to a 1.5 strip or smaller.
I am not sure how many I would purchase .. since so many of the narrow strip method quilts I make are scrappy. I would be "in" if it was all tone on tone white on white or natural blenders , since I like the scrappy look for the "fill" strips in a scrappy.
So many books and patterns are geared toward the 2.5 width... and also fat 1/4s , one exception being log cabins.

The 1.5" rolls are honeybuns and they are precious. They are great for pineapples or log cabins.

Makes a great size for an interesting log cabin block or courthouse steps. In my opinion smaller pieces make for a more interesting quilt.

I use 1.5 inch strips in folded log cabins. I make table runners, hot pads, or wall hangings out of them.

I use 1.5" strips for Log Cabin quilt blocks.

THey make beautiful 9 patches

Oh yes, especially now that Edyta Sitar has come out with her books. She uses 1" and 1 1/2" strips and her quilts are just beautiful!
