I actually sewed this quilt over a 10 day period over 2 trips to our shack. Just starting to get some lovely summery weather, sunny days and no wind - wonderful !

Hmmm are you saying that one colored and one neutral strips are sewn end to end and then sewn onto a 6"x9" foundation like paper or fabric? Where all strips about 1 1/2" wide when you sewed them together?
Summer sounds wonderful. We do not get much winter weather here, 76 out side right now, but I still prefer summer.

Lynnie it is definitely a quilt that has to go on my to do list. I own so many scraps and I really like the look and feel of this one. Like wanabquilter, I see a book case. It looks both like a fun and modern quilt. Any idea on how you plan to quilt it?
