let me know if it works. Sounds like a great idea especially for a beginner quilter like me.

I think I have one in my sewing room. I will try to take a picture and post it. I like to have one made up and ready to donate.

As I am reading this thread I am thinking the same thing...why is the batting being cut into 2" strips....I would do it the same way as QuiltE suggests...you could even put the strips on diagonally as someone else suggested for a different kind of look.

just saying...

I agree. It sounds to me like you're planning a QAYG and they take more time.

Well, what a novel idea. I can't wait to hear how it turned out. Guess this is a lesson for us to keep at least one quilt that you would be willing to give a way if it was needed. As soon as I make one, I give it away or use it. I am going to put one back this year.
