This is a variation of a quilt I saw in Summer 2010 Quick Quilts magazine. The concept can be adapted to any size your creative
brain chooses. I am starting with 4" strips, about 42 " long, prewashed, starched, pressed.

Thanks so much for the tute! That will make the charity quilts go so much faster.

Yes! This is for a teenage girl in a group home. Nothing wrong with choosing a quick design. The fabrics are quite beautiful and it looks terrific.

Great expansion on the tube square idea! Thanks for sharing it!

Now I think I understand the Tube Quilting idea. Thank you!

thanks Dotty, Love this idea!

What a great tute. And a way to make a quick and pretty quilt.

WOO HOO - this one is next. Thank you for the tute.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this great tute :D:D:D

Thanks for the great instructions. This has always confused me and I think I have finally got it. The pictures really helped. It's going to be a really pretty quilt. Great job.

You can use this tute for cutting out bargello color strips too. All one has to do is very the width of the cut strips after you make the tube.

Love it. Thanks for sharing.

I love it! You seem to come up with the greatest ideas Thanks so much for sharing!

That's so pretty. I went to a wedding in Mt Carmel IL and ended up chatting with some nice women quilters in a church basement who taught me to make this type of quilt. I made a baby quilt of flannel, so much fun and it was quick!

I will be trying this one too.

I have one "tube" left over. How I do I make this into a bargello? Just slice different widths & shift a little to sew back together?

Thank you Dotty I love this idea!!!

Great tute, I'm going to try it in the near future.
Close to the Trip Around The World Quilt, strips arranged a little different.
Thanks for showing us.

very cool

This is such a great idea, especially for a newbie like me!
Just the first square would be really great to make for a lap blanket for shut-ins, etc....

Thanks for this idea!

Thanks for the easy-to-read instructions -- what a great idea!

This is PERFECT for my son. He's been complaining that I make quilts for everyone except him. I just couldn't think of something that didn't look "girly," if you know what I mean. And guess what? Red and black are his favorite colors!

For a twin-sized quilt, would you happen to know how much of 8 different fabrics I'd need, given the 4-inch squares in your quilt?

This is fantastic and so quick. Thank you very much for sharing. Cannot wait to create my own.

What a great idea!

What a great idea!

I do the same technique with five fat quarters and it makes great table toppers and baby quilts.

Scrapykate - love your avatar.

How good is that, I will give a demonstration of this at our weekly craft group, I am slowly getting the ladies into quilting especially when there are these quick and easy methods and all the squares line up with the tube thankyou. quilting.

Great Tute

I really like this technique. Thank you for posting the tutorial.

I just made 4 quilts this way in 4 days. It doesn't get boring because every color combo is different!

Thank you for sharing, great idea as you say for the charity quilts.

Just great.

Wow!! This does look easy. I will give it a try today and see how it comes out. Thank you!!
