Looks like we all learned and shared our quilting skills on two pages. Learn something new every day, my father used to say and we need each other to accomplish this.
happy quilting, now all we need is more hours in the day, right?

OMG!! I learned the lesson of "go up one side and down the other" really soon when I started quilting! The only course for quilting was an advanced one, which I took. (I didn't know ANYTHING about quilting or sewing for that matter. When we were instructed to put the strips together, I rapidly sewed all of the strips starting from one direction!!!OMG!!! Talk about RIPPLES!!! Luckily, I swallowed my pride and took the thing to class! What laughter I got! Such a simple explanation but I will NEVER forget to sew

You really have to start with straight strips. Please be very careful while cutting your strips. Then if you reverse ends when sewing together, you should be set to go...
