LOL Spent an hour on it Monday and that didn't even get the strips sewn together- so Wednesday finished sewing the strip together- today want to start sewing up the end to end part.
Have you ever done one if so a few questions :
How long did it take ?
How do you stop the twisted knot before you get to the end to cut ?
Also please post pics so we can see them all
I will post after I have it all sewn together
I made one, and I love it. However, it did take longer than the tute says. It took about an hour and a bit to put all the strips together, but I didn't like how some of the strips lay next to each other. So...I cut it!!! I made blocks and sashed them, and added a border, with a colour that pulled all the strips together. That also made it a bit larger...which is nice on cold winter evenings!! Even if it does take longer than the tute says, it is still a pretty fast process for a quilt top.
I have started sewing bits and pieces of 2 1/4" scraps together as I am making other items and winding them onto an empty toilet paper roll. When the roll gets big enough, I will make a top out of them. Same process...just a LOT longer to put the strips together!!! LOL
