I've attached a photo of a quilt made with rainbow houndstooth strips in 7 different colors. I have all the strips,........but





The instructions say to sew them as shown, and I'd like something a little more interesting. What could be done with the placement to make it more eclectic?

thanks,

What are you going to make with it?

Tippysmom

It will be a quilt.

Could do a rail fence for a quilt.

I think you could cut strips and stagger them as in a bargello.

Here is a top I made at retreat, still not quilted. After the rows are sewn together you cut sections off the sides and insert a contrasting strip. The blog I got the pattern from used a jelly roll, I just used fabric from my stash. I don't have the blog bookmarked so can't tell you the name or the designer at the moment.
I think your fabrics might look good in this design too.[ATTACH=CONFIG]555541[/ATTACH]

Here is a blog with a similar design but wasn't the one I used. http://cluckclucksew.com/2012/07/tut...aby-quilt.html

How about appliqueing a black silouhette of something to the top and leave the strips like they are?

I KNEW I would get some marvelous ideas and you wonderful quilters came through again! Not quite sure which idea I will try, but you can bet it will be one of these! Thank you one and all! 👍🏻😌

I would sew them in value order and do a rainbow bargello using this pattern by TT:

It looks like that pic shows a block approx. 7x5? So how are all these stripe blocks to be put together?
