Looks fascinating. How do you make them?

Hi I followed instructions from a book bySharon Pederson called Reversible quilts.
You basic cut a square of wadding/batting then cut your strips at different widths and a triangle,then it's really just flip and stich

That is only a very short version

I posted a tute in the tutorial section.

I will put all four blocks together to cover the top of a double bed and then a center strip border to frame and then not sure on the other borders yet. Maybe a piano key border to tie in some more scraps.

I don't think it worked.

great information very helpful

Here is the finished top. I am quilting it now. Hope to have it done by June for graduation.

Thank you Patrice J for explaining to me how to resize the pictures!

Thank you to Pittsburg Pam for the tute on how to miter corners. First time!

This is one I just finished for GS.

Don't know if you ever got an answer to your question ... You can sew the strips together and cut the square, but then you have a lot of bias edges and you have possible stretching to contend with. Using a foundation, whether paper or cloth, provides stability. You can also use short lengths of strips.
