My first quilt was this 'tube' method but instead of all squares, it was 4" strips ---tubed. Then 3" strips from the tube and separated at a joining and then in the center of the square. You stagger the colors so...you don't have to worry about the corners matching. Still the easiest quilt to do for me.

Very nice!

Very nice... love Christmas colours

I really like the idea of not having to match the seams. And really glad you turned that far left strip around before completing the top, for I AM the quilt police. LOL

Looks like a fun quilt to make.

Where can I find the instructions for this quilt? I find the other tube quilt method but not this one! I love it done with your Christmas fabrics!

Like this a lot

Beautiful!!!! I love the colors.

Beautiful quilt!!!

very pretty!

I really like that look. Where did you find the instructions? I would love an easy project to start.

Pretty!

Great idea. Beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing.

I love it!

Good job, love the colors and pattern.........Michele

This looks like a bargello,,,am i wrong?

I like it. Looks like ric rac

I saw this one on PBS one morning about 9 years ago. A grandmother was making it with her 10 yr. old grand daughter who was doing the work. I figured if that girl could do it--I could do it. I sat and wrote down what they did step by step. Went to JoAnns and bought enough to make 9 quilts-myself and one for each of our 8 kids. Finished this one and put it away until 3 years ago when I made 6 more from those fabrics all different.

That is really cool!

I don't understand Bargello. I've seen them here but never read how to do one--or watched a tute.

Love all of them. Would love to know how you did it or what it is called. Can think of several projects to do with it like table runners and pillows since I am a beginner.

beautiful!

Great quilt.

How many fabrics did you use?

How many strips of each fabric?

Beautiful quilt.

really nice!!

Ok guys! Best of my recollection,

12 fabrics-44 in wide. cut one 4" strip from each. (Now you see how you can make so many from the same fabric.)

Line 'em up till they look good to you. cut to 4' X 22" Easier to handle. Sew the strips together on the long side now all 12 sewn together until you have a tube.

fold the tube and cut 1 3/4" strips from it cutting across the ends of the fabric. My quilt has 20 narrow strips.

1.) Open the first tube strip at any sewn line. Say red on top. 2.) Next strip move the red half way down the top red and cut the color above it in half--green. 3.) Open the next one at the top of a green. 4.) Move the next green one half the green block down. Making 5.) white on top.

AT the top you will have a whole and a half of each color all the way across. When you finish with the first strips do the same to the others. then put it together.

This is fast because except for opening the tubes, you are sewing strips together. I put three different sized borders on mine.

Hope this is helpful to those who asked. I'll be glad to answer any questions if I can.

Have to tell you those strips look more thtn 4" but I measured the quilt I have here.

Love the rick-rack look that this created. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful

very nice

Just fabulous! I LOVE it! I have to try your method!

I would like the instructions also, that is just so neat.

Bless you! I can't wait to try this ... but I have to wait because I must get the rest of my towel projects finished before Sunday.

Oh I like that! It looks like xmas ribbons. And NO seams to match?!! I need to make one of these!! LOL

Very nice! One of my first endeavors was a quilt very similar to this called 'Cobblestones'. I love the way the 'tubes' work up. Just finished a baby quilt top done same way.

Love the idea of not matching seams. Bet it made up so fast and is very pretty.

Love it!

This is on our tutorial

You just did a very good job, it looks so very beautiful.
