strip sets v. separate piecing
#14
I use strip sets whenever I can. I have also learned to read the instructions ahead of time especially with online "designers" sometimes the way they do things is not the most efficient or intelligent way. I made one quilt that taught me that. There was a lot of matching of points that was totally unnecessary had it been constructed a different, easier way. I really should rewrite that pattern and save others from the same fate I had...

It's an online pattern I've used before - but last time I used a layer cake and jelly roll so did not cut it as written in the pattern. Cut each 10" square in half so had 5 inch centers instead of 4.5". Then sewed the 2.5" strips on each side and squared to 9" I think.

Yes this pattern could be strip sewn. There are MANY was to peice a quilt and this is just one of them. Actually it may be easier for beginners since it can be tricky to sew a 44" strip and get it all even with not bowing! The cut pieces can be chain sewn which would seed up the process!!!!
