I got a lot of strips created but only four sewn together. There is no way to know what this quilt is going to look like! Maybe tomorrow.

What I have so far :)

Don't worry! You never do know in the beginning. I just hang them up and go from there.

Hey, hang a scrap of batting over that wall. Then your strips will stick without having to pin. That is, if you don't have people running past your design wall like I do! LOL

Or happen to run the vacuum and have the exhaust blow all those strips off that scrap of batting!

I turned around and saw all my strips on the floor! And nearly cried!

Thanks! I'll stick with pinning the strips to the wall. I have been numbering them with pins using Roman Numerals. I just use three different colored pins and it is working great so far.
