I've been using a combination of Ann Brauer's technique and FMQ. Her technique involves taking your backing and batting and folding in half to make a straight line. Sew on that line so it is visible. Then line up your first strip pretty side up and the next pretty side down and stitch. Finger press and continue. You can do it at an angle or overlay if you wish. What you end up with is a piece that is pre-quilted. I've been FMQing over that. Really enjoying this process. Or ... you can do a design or portrait in strips (or stripes)
