I`ve done many quilts this way and always love how thy turn out....I love yours as well.....I usually use black for the sashings but really like this look with the white.....nice job

Oh but I always remove the paper though....as I`m sewing the rows together

Fun scrappy! I like the idea of leaving the papers in. Hmmm.............

I read back through the posts. my reply turned out to be the #70
I am of the great grand parent generation and I remember my grandmother using newspapers, catalog pages, etc for piecing and left the paper in the quilt.. some of the history of quilts and the original work can still be found with bits of paper..life is so interesting!...same concerns and questions I remember in the neighborhood then as I see on QB.. love it!!

What a terrific quilt! I like the different sizes of strips. That adds even more interest.
