Have made 2 love them and all the advice about organization, alternating sewing and labeling is true. Double check things!

I love them, but won't do the tube method, because I HATE unsewing. So I only do strip-pieced patterns not tube patterns.

I have been thinking about having a go at one of these. I thought it would be too difficult but your responses to this question have given me the incentive to have a go. Thank you

We can both give it a try together and show our quilts once they are complete. :)

I've now made three and they might be my favorite pattern. Someone suggested the scrappy bargello from www.quiltville.com and they were right... it's a great starter one. Naturally, that scrappy was my third one (I didn't start with the easy one first!). The one you see pictured was my second and I made it from a wall hanging pattern I found in a magazine.

I have made one, but, it is all one sized blocks. I found what they call beginner quilt. Suited me just fine. I used 12 patterns,4 colors. Had DH draw me a pattern which I will enclose here. I cut the squares needed into small sandwich baggies and labeled the baggie by # which made it easier. I think the hardest part is matching seams. The pattern I am showing is for a queen sized.
