Do you use 1.5" strips?

It's made with Double Nine-Patch blocks alternated with Churn Dash blocks and VERY intricate and beautiful when it's well made.
This is an Oh-My-Gosh quilt: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thepumpdoctor/4235264301/
This shows the detail of the two blocks used: http://www.flickr.com/photos/thepump...n/photostream/

I use 1 1/2 inch strips for piano keys. I do a lot for borders. I sew them together for spider webs and pyramid quilts. Also did a scrappy french braid with them. Also did a log cabin once. I love them. Cut my own from scraps.

I routinely cut 1.5" strips from scraps. I love to make small 4-patch and 9-patch blocks to incorporate into larger blocks. Bonnie Hunter influences again. :-) Check out her Crabapples quilt in Adventures with Leaders and Enders. I pieced one of these last year. It actually went faster than what I expected and was lots of fun.

Yes, in fact, I am making a quilt right now "Ride the Rails" from American Patchwork and quilting. I am using scraps based on the Bonnie Hunter method. Next I am going to do a Jo Morton and use 1 inch strips.
