Your quilts are really pretty! I'm excited to see your tube quilts. That's what my next quilt will be...the "Summer in the Park" version! I bought an inexpensive set of strips to practice with and cut up some white strips. My first blocks came out a little "off" and were kind of tricky to square and keep the strips lined up correctly, if that makes sense. I think my precut strips and self-cut strips were not precisely the same width. Going to be more careful with the "real" quilt and really measure as I go.
