I do love the look of Peckish's quilt once she cut it up. Beautiful colors.

I have to get over a New Years party here first than I can start. Again Thank you, this site is great I do not even have to ask the questions and the answers appear.

Has anyone ever sewn two or three of the rows together and then cut up the the sewn strips to use in a different way?
