LOve it! Quick question....how long did you make your starter piece, and did you do two rows of the first fabric or start with a block of 5 inches x length?? Can you tell I want to make one?? LOL

I agree with sewlmatesister, would love to make one myself but wonder.... how would you make that a baby quilt.... hmmmmm guess I'm gonna be doing lots of math and trial and error to make this one. Thanks Eddie! You do an awesome job on all your quilts, and make me want to make more LOL

Geez Brooke, no math for me, figure I'd just keep going round and round, but Eddie might tell us more! LOL

Very easy to make! Just sew a bunch of 1.5" strips together, end to end so that you have an enormously long strip of fabric. Then, starting at one end you cut it at about 20" or so and sew it to the side of your long strips of fabric so that it's now two strips wide and cut it. Then you just go round and round sewing. As you come to the edge of each side you then cut, turn 90 degrees and start sewing more on. You can see that the colors of each strip wrap around the corners and keep going.

Very nice! That would be a great way to use up leftover strips also!

sunrise450 09-18-2010 07:38 AM

How about table runners and placemats or a table topper? Gotta try this!

Great job Eddie! Turned out really beautiful.

The "foundation" idea is a good one. Something to think about and using up all those extra strips from other projects.

I love the name too. What a fun quilt...it was fun wasn't it? lol :lol:

trolleystation 09-18-2010 09:27 AM

Eddie...you did it again...amaze me. Love what you do with fabrics and colors. Would love to do one of these but don't know if I have the patience to work with 1.5 inch strips, but suppose I could try 2.5.

Harmony 09-18-2010 10:49 AM

Kansas Troubles fabrics are THE BEST! Your quilt is so inventive--Kind of like a Gee's Bend sort of quilt. Well done!

Lynneander 09-18-2010 12:16 PM

I did an ivy leaf and vine quilting pattern on it to soften the strong lines on it.

Eddie I love your quilt an thats a quick way to put on together.love the colors.

Eddie, next time I get some extra money, I am sending you my first quilt, a Turning Twenty made of flannels so you can quilt it for me. I just came back to look at this again and it so nice. I just wanna cuddle up in it with a cup of cocoa and a good quilt book.

Anxious to try something similar with all my saved strips, various widths.
Your talents are making us so envious!
