I have made quilts from squares and tying them for some time. But never ventured into the area of cutting pieces and putting them together in a pattern. This has blood, sweat and tears. blood from finger sticks from pins, sweat trying to figure out what I did wrong with the last strip and tears when ihad to tear it out again and again....But I am now addicted to strip quilting.

I am backing it with muslin. don't like the fancy ones. I remember quilts when I was little and they were muslin backed. :D

You did a great job and your quilt top is beautiful. It does take blood, sweat and tears the first time out, but I can see you are well on your way. Thank you for sharing.

Hurrah for you. My 1st class pattern was Rails. Loved selecting the colors and fabrics. *Thought* I was sewing a quarter inch seam. NOT! Still haven't faced ripping it all apart. So discouraged. Learning none the less.

Beautiful job!!!! Yup - you're definitely hooked now!

Mariposa 03-21-2011 07:07 AM
