There's lots of movement setting it on point. Sometimes I made the whole block and then halved it in order to have a duplicate and other times I used up singles doing half the block.

There's no name for this block. I haven't seen anything like it anywhere and can't wait to do another to use up more strips (as soon as I finish this one). So I just call it My Half Strippy Scrappy. The block is 5" and is 48" wide right now. It either becomes horizontal or vertical depending on which way you look at it on the bed. From the top down, it's vertical. From the sides of the bed, it becomes horizontal and resembles a kite! Oh, what fun this is! Hope you enjoy seeing it like I do! Thanks for looking!

That is beautiful can't go wrong using all those little scrappy strips.This board is wonderful you'll never know what beautiful designs you will find or see.Keep them comming.

It's really a happy quilt with a light background! It will ground it a bit with a darker alternating block. What a difference one color will make. I like it! Good job so far!
