That's my plan as well.

But I'd never do a diagonal join as someone mentioned earlier. I'd do straight joins for all the seams.

I just completed one for a gift in vanilla colored Tonga treats; it was beautiful. I didn't do the strips on the diagonal to save time,and I free-motion quilted down the middle of each strip. Now I want to make one for myself. Great quick quilt...
