Looks like it could easily be done with strip piecing. Two wider strips (one lighter, one darker), with a very small black strip in between. Cut with a 90 degree ruler, with the 90 degree corner at the top of the strip. Then alternate with the 90 degree angle at the bottom of the strip. Looks like there are a lot of different strip sets used. Then there is a border around each square.

Missouri Star has a similar pattern . You might try doing different width of strips but ending in the same final width. Here is the free tutorial online.

I've seen a similar quilt by Kaffe Fassett, but he used striped fabric rather than strip sets. Pretty slick! And easy, if you get the right fabrics.

It's a rather simple technique, similar to what charsuewilson described. It easily goes dimensional, too.

If you were to sew 2 1/2" strips together and cut into squares (10 to 14") then cut the squares from corner to corner so you have 4 triangles, you could make up your own design. I love it.

Love the quilt!
What a great way to use scraps/stash. NOW there's another one I'd like to make. :) |

I know this is not the one you are looking for but I came across this as I was "trying", feeble attempt at best, to straighten up my sewing room cause there is a pattern I'm looking for I know it's there somewhere!
Anyway this jumped out at me. www.toadusew.com strip disco I think it's a free pattern. |

I found this quilt and it said it's called splits n strips. Does anyone know if it's called anything else?
I am trying to find the pattern to download but can only find places to order it. I was hoping maybe it's called something else that I can search for. If the first, it's at Connecting Threads, as I posted above. http://www.connectingthreads.com/Pat...__D10395D.HTML |
