    The July 2010 issue of American Quilter had an article on a techinque (not a pattern) using striped fabric that has been on my to do list for a year. Finally found a stripe I liked but now the dilemma is how to arrange the blocks, all HST from the same fabric. Very easy to do. Please tell me which layout you like, and if you can think of other ways to arrange the squares. This part is FUN!!. There will be two posting (5 Pics). Might take a few minutes to get all the pictures up.

    What a fun project!! I like #2 and #3. #1 is creative, but my eyes don't "rest" on the quilt.
