Rhonda, you sure prove my theory that quilters are geniuses(sp) lol, great tut!

LOL thank you but my talent is God given and He gets the credit. I am just using it to his glory.

How in the world did I miss this fabulous tutorial when you first put it up? Today I couldn't bring up the board, so I had to find another way to get in, and just happened to come to the Tutorials page, and that's how I found it. Rhonda, babe, you've done it again! It just blows me away to think how creative you are. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! :)

Oh how interesting! Thanks for sharing!!!!! Awesome ideas and tutorial!!!

Great ideas, Rhonda! Thanks for pointing me to this thread!

Wow - what a bunch of great ideas - you are very convincing - I really need to save those scraps - it would be fun to make some of these patterns.

Thanks Rhonda for all the good ideas using strip sets. I have lots of strips to start sewing together.

Thanks for your wonderful Tute! Ideas I often forget and yours is a wonderful reminder and then some!! :thumbup:

Wonderful tips...love the hot pads! I have tons of scrap strips and looking for ideas..this is wonderful!

I love these tuts for the great inspirations they give me.

Thanks for sharing this great tutorial Rhonda!! I'm inspired!

You're welcome Quiltmaniac! Hope you post pics if you do any of the stripwork!

Rhona, thank you so very much for sharing how to use the strips. I love all the things you've made.

Rhonda, I am so sorry, I meant to type in the 'd'. I have to remember to check before I hit 'post'

No problem I get called Wanda or Robin or all sorts of things. My mom worked as a secretary in the Principal's office when I was in High School. the Principal could never remember my name so he called me Susy. LOL

Loved your Tute Rhonda and I am going to put it to good use. thanks for sharing.

A great and very helpful tutorial Rhonda! Thank you so much for sharing! :)

You're very welcome!

Rhonda - you are such an inspiration! how do you come up with all these great ideas?

thanks Ifstamper. It's stuff I came up with when I use to sell to a local gift shop. I had lots of opportunity to explore ideas while making lots of hotpads and other small gift items.

I've gotten alot of inspiration from quilt shows like Simply Quilts

Thanks Rhonda,

Your shared talent is so special and I always look forward to your newest creation. Thank you so much for sharing your unending talent with us.

thanks for the compliments and I love love sharing whatever God gives me.

good ideas will have to try this

This is great. Thanks so much for taking the time to provide all the examples. I love making strip sets because I find them very freeing ... things don't have to match! Have to make some new potholders and hot pads for my church. Think I will try some of these!

Thanks for a great tute and sharing your finished project pics with us.

You're welcome! glad you enjoyed them

Thank you! I am new to quilting, I will start with this. Very cool!

Hi, so glad I saw your blog. I am a brand new member and am new to quilting. AS I cannot seem to be accurate enough with both my cutting out and sewing, your strips give me hope. Keep your fingers crossed Moss

It takes practice Moss as in anything we do. the more you do it the better you get. Just take the time to be as accurate as you can and you will improve.

You're very welcome! Hope you enjoy the process!
