I used 2X2 1/2 inch white 'spacers' to separate each strip during the first sew together. After that I just let chance take its turn. This is what resulted. Since its going to be used as my granddaughters drag around quilt I thought it didn't turn out too badly.
You did AWESOME!!!! I LOVE the idea of the spacers and will use that too. See....we quilters are so clever, we can take one persons idea and give it our own spin! I LOVE the way it turned out and i'm sure you will want to make more. I've lost count on the number I have made. They are especially great for charity quilts.
Well done...thanks for sharing the picture.
