Prisim, you sound like me!

It's hard to make a string/scrappy quilt without wanting to organize it in some way. This is the only one I've made so far. Decided to use black as the middle strip. Then, I just had the strips cut in various lengths and widths and started sewing. The only thing I tried to make sure of was to not have the same colors back to back. It was hard to not "design" it. HA, HA.

I really like your quilt. I always thought that the strips had to be the same width. Don't know why I thought that but I see now it is better with differents widths and not so much matching of seams. Now it's on my list to make one.
