1 1/2 scrap Strip quilt - finished pics at post 88
#93
That is a LOT of 1-1/2 strips! Must have taken forever to sew together! It's beautiful, though--I don't think it's too bright at all. Scrappy quilts are never too bright! I'll bet once you get your borders on it, you'll love it!

I decided to quilt it in an all-over stippling in a honey colored thread.

On the first day, I had sewn all my strips from end to end. It made a VERY long strip! The next day,
I had my sister come over for the day & help me.
She would pin ahead of me to keep the strips from twisting as I would sew the rows together.
It only took about 2 days for the whole top.
Once it was done, I used ALOT of starch on it before adding the borders.
Didn't really have a problem with wavy strips.
I guess because some of the strips were kinda short before making the long piece.
