These are beautiful ! I love the one hanging up. I have a pattern by another designer that takes 8 strips, I see your's is 7. Great Job !

If you love making these and want to play with this a bit further. . . I wonder how it would work to increase the size of the strips? Wouldn't this make a larger, almost lap sized quilt??? I KNOW some preteen or teenager would LOVE getting one of these through Project Linus for their hospital bed or bed at home. And, though most adults don't realize it, they'd appreciate the work and art of it. Since you don't have family to share with, this would be an awesome charity quilt if you cold make it larger.

You can do this. I know you can; I've seen your work. Come to my place one day and we'll each make one.

PKGranny 11-27-2012 08:04 AM

You can adopt me too! Love this and would love to make it to coordinate with my bed quilt and hang it above the headboard. Guess this, too, is on my list of things to do!

bibi 11-27-2012 08:22 AM

DebbieG 11-27-2012 08:30 AM

Well yes you could make them as gifts....I for one would be pleased to be included in your family to sew for!!! ;)

Neat! Love these, nice color choices. I can see where those would be very fun to make.

mjhaess 11-27-2012 12:37 PM

They are so pretty........

quilt with strata pattern
 
Someone may have said this already, but I think you could make a quilt with wider strips and/or more strips. If you increase the size of the strips, you can make it larger. It may be an odd shape, but could have borders to make it rectangular for a bed.

fmhall2 11-27-2012 03:42 PM

I have an old, old (1990) pattern for this where the star is the center of a bed quilt, and portions of it are in the corners, etc. I haven't looked at it in a while, so can't remember exactly how the corners are, but if you are interested in making one of these into a bed quilt, I can go get the pattern and let you know more (maybe even a xerox of the picture.)

Helen20906 11-27-2012 04:37 PM

Beautiful quilts. Does anyone know the angles that were taped on the ruler?

It's not the angles. It's the width of your strip sets.

Crqltr 11-27-2012 05:15 PM

Thanks! I just love your color combos. I just ordered the pattern from her website. I want to do one in Christmas colors...some year!

The web site has a bed quilt pattern with the strata in the center..pretty.

I love them and was thinking tree skirt (also).

Tennessee Suzi 11-27-2012 05:48 PM

So very cool! I agree with others here - figure out a way to make it a quilt! Great Job!

Rina 11-28-2012 02:35 AM

rj.neihart 11-28-2012 05:48 AM

Very nice! Lovely colors too - haven't made this yet - would love to give it a try!

Geri B 11-28-2012 06:07 AM

I watched the tute on utube.......then did a search on the web and found a site for just the pattern - $9.75, by a Ruth ????, so I was going to buy it and proceeded to check out until it asked for my info, name, addy, password, login.......that would be published publicy on Etsy.....I did not want that....tried to go around it, but it was a necessity, so needless to say, I did not order the pattern from there....Anyone else have a source for just the pattern, as I have more than enough fab to do it!!!!!!!

Pat G 11-28-2012 06:41 AM

I sometimes lay one in the middle of my bed. I gave one to a friend & she uses her the same way. It's the first thing you see when you walk past her bedroom.
I love the way you hung one on the wall. Great idea.

quiltingeileen 11-28-2012 07:26 AM

Wow. How neat. I've never seen this before. Very nice.

maxnme01 11-28-2012 08:12 AM

Why not add setting triangles to square it up and add borders for a lovely quilt whatever size you choose?????

GammaLou 11-28-2012 09:48 AM

Absolutely beautiful. I love strata stars!!!
