My current quilt work-in-progress. Based on this quilt: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/redpepp...ts/5055696086/">www.flickr.com/photos/redpepperquilts/5055696086/</a> by Red Pepper Quilts.

Thought this design would send me over the edge with it's spinning look, but once I tried making a square I was hooked (I must already be over the edge). I've thrown in some unconventional stripes like sheet music prints, written words prints and some dots. The squares are all made...70 of them. I'm now sewing them together into a quilt top. I really need to set this aside and do some Christmas sewing, but it keeps calling me. Once the top is done and can be moved from my design wall (an unmade bed), I really will have to set it aside for a bit. I just didn't want you to think I was sitting around doing nothing.

Doing nothing is also great too, as it gives us a chance to just let it sink in (on what we have already done so far)! By the way I like what you have done so far....:)

I Love your stripes. I guess I'll be collecting stripes to give this one a try. Thanks for sharing.

oh my goodness! I am So loving that. It looks like a labor of love. no Wonder you can't leave it be. You have perfectly matched the stripes - I'm in awe. Really look forward to seeing it completed. You must have been collecting stripes forEver. It's really struck my fancy.

that is so different and cool

Great job. Don't usually buy stripes and now am rethinking that. Can't wait to see the finished quilt.

That is awesome - keep up the good work!

So neat! You're doing Red Pepper Quilts proud!

I really love the stripes, freezer!

And as long as it keeps calling you, that is allll that matters..Cause once it starts swearing at you.. Its misery from then on end lol

Awesome! I love how you included the music and words that also make stripes. Very cool quilt!!

You have done an excellent job. I can not believe how well your stripes match.

I love this! You have done a great job in matching up your stripes. I can't wait to see a picture of the completed top.

I love your strip squares awesome

It look Great, You did a Great Job.

I love this! I may have to try this myself!

Great job matching up all those stripes.

Wonderful idea for a quilt! I can see why you can't leave it alone! I like the 'stripes' of words, music, etc.! Very nice!!!

great quilt!

I love it! Great fabrics! Guess I have to add this pattern to the someday-list too.

Great job, love the idea. It would be perfect for all of those shirts from goodwill as they are mostly stripes.

This is different and looks great! Love it!

oh I love it!!

That's really cool!!!!

Looks great to me!

Very interesting to keep your eyes on the black and white striped block while scrolling the pic up. Watch what it does...an optical illusion of sorts. One reason why I love working with stripes! Nice work!

You did a phenomenal job on the cutting and piecing! Such a stunning quilt!! :D:D:D

Beautiful - this looks like it was great fun! Good job!

Very nicely done! I really like the black and white square.

You notice the black and white square does that. I was wondering if I would be the only one. It's fun.

Thank you all for your nice comments. With careful cutting it's really a lot easier to match those stripes than you might think.

How challenging! So neat! Was there a tute that guided you on how to best match the stripes (so perfect!)? Would love to try but being so new to quilting, I don't have the nerve!

Check out Red Pepper Quilts blog. http://www.redpepperquilts.com/searc...max-results=10 She discusses how she cuts her pieces for her squares. With careful cutting, the stripes will practically go together on their own.

I love the Red Pepper Quilts blog. Have several things "favorited". Your quilt is awesome!! All the stripes are so impressively lined up!!

Very striking! Really like it.

I love your quilt but I have never been able to sew stripes because it makes me dizzy. A lady brought me one to quilt for her and I had to put the top on the bottom to get it done.
