get creative...it can be very fun to see how it comes out.

I did 1 6 inch square and the rest are stripped and raggy, It's so easy to make one in a few hours that way. I make them 6 feet long and the width of the fabric. I do not put a binding on, I just sew around the whole quilt 2 times then start snipping.
