Hi everyone. I am newish to quilting. I have been making simple 9 block baby quilts for about a year (I hand tied them all since I was afraid to machine quilt. I have recently started branching out to other projects. Whenever I ask my mother for advice she sends me to this board, so I decided to join myself.
I just finished my first "real" quilt and even did some machine quilting on it. It was the quick jelly roll style. (although i cut strips instead of using a jelly roll) Her birthday party is this weekend, so I will be giving it to her then. (I will attach a picture)
I live in southern California, just north of LA.

Welcome to the board from Ventura County.
Where north of LA are you??

can you also tell me how to do this strip quilt. I want to make it. Do I need a Pattern? How wide are the strips.

hopefully the link works, I have seen several directions but the one here on the message boards is a great tutorial.

the strips are 2.5 inches and you need 40 of them. With borders it ends up being a little wider than a twin blanket. I used my scraps for the binding by cutting them into 6.5 inch strips and sewed them end to end until I had enough for the perimeter of the quilt. I thought this kept the randomness of the pattern.
