Paper Princess thank you so much for putting in this link to Ditter's String Quilt I am going to start one, but I studied the directions and somehow, I am just not understanding how to put it together with the strips. I am a beginner and maybe I just need to start it and see about that when I get there. LOL As I don't have a large enough machine to quilt a large size quilt, I like the idea of quilt as you go method, the only part that worries me is putting it together with the strips, has anyone just made the blocks and sewn those together into a pattern and then put a backing and batting and then tied it ???? that is probably my speed for a strip quilt. Yup, I am chicken LOL
