3 More Mile-a-Minute Strip quilts

I have gotten better at putting these together. I combined about 60+ strips for each of these and they came out to around 54" X 64" each give or take. I am very impressed with them and now I have some emergency gifts for in a pinch.

You've made some great looking quilts with the Mile-A-Minute technique. Those will make fantastic gifts. Thanks for sharing.

Nice job! I love the orange one . . . ~smile~

We are impressed with them too! I think joining the strips at an angle really adds to the overall design.

I do do a lot of these. I've gotten in the habit of cutting leftover fabrics into either 3 1/2" or 2 1/2" strips and color coordinate them the best I can. I also a lot of times put a applique on them to fancy them up some. I like your slant seams but aren't they a pain to have to cut off the tails? Great job.

Great use of strips. Way to be prepared!

Great quilts! Just finished a top with fabrics I fell in love with from Ann Arbor quilt show I like to attend. Fun and quick. Now to sandwich and quilt.

I cut my leftover material into strips too. This didn't come close to putting a dent in my stash! The more to sew with, right? ;~P

Looks a lot like Jelly Roll Race. I have made some similar, but increased the width of the strips, so they go together quicker.
