Beautiful! Love the colors. Wondering if you bought yardage or jelly rolls. Also if you did how much and how many. Looks like about 10 different colors.

Your quilt turned out great. I love the colors. And yes PP does create a mess. I usually tear out each block as I go so that it is all done when I finish the last block and they are ready to sew together.

The better alternative for strip quilts is to use either a washout out or leave in foundation. They work much better on strip piecing. My preference is the leave in.
peace

It looks really great and worth the paper mess.
