    It is sewn from side to side, top to bottom, as you go. My son is going to help me get a picture this evening and post it for me.

    Here are the pictures of the 2 panels that are done, there are 2 more to do. The first one shows the backing in lower corner. I need to know how to put them together once all are complete.

    You need to find out what angle she was working in, then draw a line across the batting in that angle , maybe every 10-15" then start placing your strips at that angle, remembering not to sew all the way to the edges(1/2 inch or so). then trim off the left over material that hangs over the edge. You do one that has the highest side on the right, then one that has left side as highest side. Did I sound clear or rambling. I hope I helped.

What I need is to know how to attach the sections together when strip sections are done???? Also would like to know if I can use drapery fabric squares [they were free] to make a quilt if they are washed prior to use. It is some very petty fabric and I hate to waste it. Thank you for any help on either question.
    I actually made one from fabric samples being discarded from a furniture store, it actually turned out beautiful. Wish I still had it or had a pic of it.

    Good morning, thank you for your response. The strip quilt is not made from the samples, sorry if there was some confusion about that, it was meant to be two separate ?. pstoner do you have a pattern for this I would appreciate it. This is a very pretty quilt.Attaching the strips is the part I am not sure of, I know I have seen this somewhere, but can not find it anywhere. Thank you everyone for any suggestions.

    This almost sounds liek Quilt As You Go.

    So does each strip already have the batting and backing attached? So, you are trying to figure out how to atach the large sections together, considering they already have batting and backing?

    Yes, they are ready as soon as I get the other 2 strips put together, everything is there and to go.
