I love your quilt, but if you go back and forth across it, it does make my eyes cross. Like ironing a striped dress.

Very nice quilt. I have never seen this pattern before. I really like it.

This would leave me cross-eyed!! You did a super job!!

You did a great job with this, and I'm impressed that you did your own math (that in itself would have had me moving on to another project!)

Fabulous quilt!

Tula Pink demonstrated this on a Sewing with Nancy show. I wrote down the sizes of the blocks and tried it. I agree with the crossing eyes. Your colors are great with this pattern

I didn't google it, I should have. It's three blocks, a white solid, red solid and diagonal stripe. I tube pieced the diagonal with alternating red/whites. Jenny Beyer has a good tute for tube quilting at MoStar Quilt Co. Here's where my math was off. I wanted 6" squares and thought I'd use 2" strips and get 6" squares (2- 1/2=1 1/2 x4 strips=6)... or not when you cut on the bias. I still don't quite know how to figure that out to get a 6" square but I ended up with 4.5" squares so I had to cut down the solids and create quite a few more squares of both solids and stripes. I was going to do 8 blocks across and ended up with 12, the same with 12 down and ending up with 18 blocks. The blocks are actually pieced exactly the same and then one stripe is rotated 180 degrees over so the points match which made it easier. I chain pieced almost all of it.
