Morganfam7, strip quilts are great for when you just want to sew without thinking about it! I used a paper foundation for this one. I've used muslin squares as a foundation in the past, but it makes the quilt very heavy. A friend told me that using pages from an old phone book was the easiest way to get lightweight paper that pulls off easily. I had used Carol Doak's foundation paper, myself. The great thing about these quilts is that the strips can be any width, and don't even have to be straight! Wonky strips make it lots of fun
