It's been a while, but I will try to post a picture. Just in case it doesn't work I will try to describe the quilt. Strip pieced basically means each block is 6" and each block consists of strips of fabric from the 1930's. Each block has between 4 to 7 strips as each block is slightly different and the strips are different widths. I'm planning a narrow inner border of muslin and an outer border of a coordinating fabric about 6 to 8 inches wide.

As you can see, I'm still working on it. Since the fabrics are from the 1930's and not reproductions, some of the fabrics have disintegrated due to the dyes used to make them. I am in the process of replacing those fabrics as you can see from the second photo.
