Stunning quilt. Did I do the math right, your strips are 1.25 inches and finish at 0.75? I cannot imagine cutting, let alone sewing a quilt that size in under 3 weeks!

They're kind of easy but a bit time consuming!! Mitering the corners was a b**** (rhymes with "itch")!!!

Yes, your math is correct! Oh, the 3 weeks didn't include the cutting. I guess if I stuck with it 8 hours a day it could have been done in 3 weeks but I sew for an hour, take 1/2 hour off to do "whatever" and then back to the machine for another hour. My back gets sore and I have to move around. But, LOTS of 1 1/4" strips!!! I used 45 different batiks.
