Thanks for the likes! I'm really enjoying this board. There are so many nice quilts to look at, and it keeps me mindful of all my UFO's.
Oksewglad, there isn't the slightest chance I would try to make smaller strips out of those 4" ones.
I'm one lazy quilter and was pleased someone had picked a bunch of fabrics I liked and had already done all that cutting. Over the years it was in the back of my mind and if I happened to see a fabric I thought would go with the others, I'd buy it. I know there were only 2-3 from the original bunch that I didn't use, either because I raided them for something else or I didn't like them in this because they were juvenile prints, little fishies and hot air balloons (nice for something else, someday).
Today I finished a couple of pillow shams that match the quilt. Maybe they should count as another finish? They certainly gave me a lot of trouble for such a simple project. The tops of them were done several months ago, testing the plan for the quilt. One of the booboos I made today was new even to me. I got one sham completely done before I realized I'd sewn two soft sides of the velcro into the same sham. I also made some pillowcases from the leftover backing, but I don't have a picture of those (not a UFO, anyway).
