That is going to be a pretty and cheerful quilt. I want to do one but it would be another WIP and I don't need any more of those.

I really like the colors you have used.....nice!! I've never done QAYG - how will you sew together the blocks? Do you use a sashing between them?

anicra 07-30-2010 03:43 AM

Very nice. Should be pretty when you finish.

Now that's lovely. The way you put the colors together
makes me believe that you got the materials just for
this one quilt.

Sure wish I had one that pretty to live on my bed.

wraez 07-30-2010 12:01 PM

Oh great job! I love string quilts but have not done a QAYG yet. You've inspired me.

Absolutely beautiful colors. I am really learning to appreciate the scrappy quilts so much. What size strips are you using?
Please post the completed project.

What do you think?

this is one of my favorite patterns. i foundation piece and keep a large hamper to hold all my strip scraps, even the selvedge trimmings. then when i get bored i pull the hamper out. i totally love the randomness of the whole thing and never try to be matchy about it but usually make the final border black, sometimes putting a narrow inner border. the black border and binding seem to calm the eye and they don't stay around long after completed. yours is looking great. if you think you like it a lot now, wait til it is finished....you will love it. i do.

jeanmaire 07-30-2010 05:55 PM

Looking good, can't wait till finished to see it.

NCquilter 07-30-2010 06:04 PM
