That makes sense. I'll keep that in mind for the next one. Thanks for the tip.

I've done a small one and it was fun :)

That's my plan as well.

After making a rail fence quilt I am pretty sick of sewing strips together. Maybe after I do a pieced quilt I will get back to sewing the rest of my 2" strips.

I simply folded mine accordian style, back and forth and I had no problem.

This would be fun I think to start with a larger strip also. Perhaps 4.5 inches. Quick and easy quilts are what I need now for Christmas coming up!

But I'd never do a diagonal join as someone mentioned earlier. I'd do straight joins for all the seams. |
did one of these never ending ones a year ago...ended up chopping in half and making two smaller ones lol

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...
