I worked some more on Steven's quilt last night. I got quite a bit finished. I would say his quilt top is about 75% completed.
First, I sewed the first strip to the last one and made a long tube. There was no way to take a picture of that. Then I cross cut the tube making rings at 5 1/2".
Here's what one looks like open:
I didn't have enough fabric to make all 16 rows. I was one row short, but I knew i would be going into it. Here is a pic of just sewing the strips together and making the rows:
Since I don't have a pattern to work with, I made a diagram numbering each block. Then I took a small piece of paper and labeled where each row needs to be seam ripped to make the stair step design:
So now, what I need to do, is seam rip at each pin. That will give me the stagger pattern that I need. Then just sew the rows together and the top is done. The hardest part now is just matching my corners.
