Ditter

I agree with Ditter - that would be a way to give your eyes a rest. Then add a solid outer border to frame it. What a fun pattern - reminds me of braided gumwrappers we used to make as kids.

Your quilt is going to be beautiful. I was just thinking about making a braid quilt when I get my sewing room set up.

kwhite 05-23-2010 07:18 AM

I am such a scrap monger. I wonder if I will have enough "guts" to cut off the uneven edges once I have them sewn together.

SandyMac 05-23-2010 10:12 AM

Can't wait to see your quilt finished.2x4 inches rigth?I'm thinking about this one. Just even cutting up a pile of pieces to start. Thanks :-D

*From experience* .... yes! <g>
If you really must keep the tiny triangles, I recommend a fancy jar or glass container with a lid and just pop them in there for a colorful room accessory <wave>

Now K White, Just how are we going to be able to see the beautiful finished quilt, if you quit now. You must keep going,going, (until all scraps are ) gone?

impossible! They enlarge themselves during the night, and if you let them have air, you will have more than you know what to do with! <g> <wave>

yes them scraps seem to add up like bunny's do.

Its wonderful! So you have 11 more to do - right? How long does one take??

Do some Maths and work out a managable program to do a little everyday, or work for one strip in a week - or whatever amd then you will get back into it.

Its going to be a fabulous quilt!

KEEP GOING!!!

She is DONE! <g> We get so wrapped up with reading in a thread, and so eager to be encouraging, that we forget to check the date and the pages ... She is DONE! And, soon she will be posting a picture of the completed top - - which we are almost holding our breath to see <g> *hint, hint* <wave>
