Wonderful bunch of quilters come together to help a fellow quilter!! I love the blue and yellow idea with white. Bright yellow with white or white on white would work well. I, too, will send you some strips. I have been saving blues and yellows for a quilt of my own (which I don't have because I give my quilts away!). PM your address. You want 2.5 inch or 3 inch strips? If we send strips, you can just start sewing when you get them in the mail!
