I've wondered what it would look like with 3 fabrics and that is gorgeous!!! I'm definitely going to have to try this one - after the holidays!

I'm wondering what would happen using a "border print" for the large strip. Think I'll give it a whirl...

I love it! Yes, I'm now addicted too! You did a great job!....and now my creative juices are flowing....hmmm.....how about strings or thinner strips...the more the merrier!
Kind Regards,

I think you're onto something here.....I'm going to give that a try as well, and maybe more strips, only thinner ones......we've got it going on!
Kind Regards,

This is just too sweet to not try!

I'm hooked too, but it will have to wait until after the holidays. So much to do, so little time. I find the only problem with more strips is that the larger it (the cut piece) is overall, the fewer you get per 44 inch starter piece. So you need to be exact with each starter piece put together to cut. I see LOTS of varieties coming in 2010! Have fun all!

Google tube quilting - missourquilts.com has a tutorial on it - much easier to find though by googling. You take 2 or 3 strips of equal width sew them together. Then measure the resulting width and cut another fabric strip that size. You then sew it on both sides lengthwise- you get a tube - hence the name tube quilting ... and use a 45 degree line on a ruler to cut triangles. You get a square in a square pattern when the triangles are joined into a block.
Check it out !

That makes perfect sense. Why didn't I figure that out :( Thanks and I'm trying your technique next one I do.
