Trip Around the World.
I loved your Trip Around the World quilt. I haven't been able to find directions or a tut. Where can I get directions to make one?

This absolutely blows my human mind!!!! 775 squares and you call it a "quickie"? This is amazing; your work is just beautiful and I have no idea how you kept your sanity. I had a Quilt of Valor to make and did it with Eleanor Burns book and nearly shot myself. There was something I didn't "get", LOL. I ended up with so many strips left over and couldn't figure out how to do it, so I made it twin size and finished it like a 5" block quilt. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are to be honored.

This thread has nothing to do with composting... LOL. 
After I made the Sailboat quilt from baby clothes, which I posted last weekend, there were lots of lovely polka dotted flannel scraps left over. As I was putting them away, they tempted me into making a quickie quilt.
Eleanor Burns has a great book called Quick Trips and I always wanted try her technique of sewing the strips into loops and ironing the seam allowances in alternating directions to lock them. So I adapted her directions for use with squares (she used rectangles in the book).
Here is my scrappy flannel little Trip Around the World Quilt. It’s a little wonky after washing, but very soft and cuddly because I backed it with minky. It’s quilted with SID in a concentric zigzag pattern around the center, every 3rd ring. It is made with 775 one inch squares. I learned a lot on this little quilt. (Mostly from my mistakes)
