Tube Quilting Question
Is there a limit to the number of strips you may sew into a tube? I have 28 2-inch strips that I would like to sew into a tube. This would give me 14 strips to cut. Has anyone used this many strips or even more while tube quilting?

I have no idea but, I too would like to know. Someone will be along shortly to answer your question.

Not a clue...never heard of tube quilting. I've made tubes to cut with Cozy tube rulers and it's based on size of ruler you are using to determine how many strips to tube together. But, I don't think that is your question. I'm interested in answer too.

Effectively is that not what you do when you make a bargello quilt?

This is also the method for making Trip Around the World. It is important to sew seams carefully, press carefully, and always keep the tube lined up squarely with the markings on the cutting mat. You need a measure of patience to do this with ltubes that have a large number of strips.

What is this tube method you speak of?
Good Youtube or tutorial link? Watson |
The wedge will be 14 inch. This is strip tube quilting:
