I love it, by the way. Awesome colors.
Of course! That's logical. :) I go for a machine applique class tomorrow, so I'll ask them then.

Thank you for the compliment. :)

Judy, Your quilt looks great. Aren't these fun and fast? I really like the colors and those kitties are so cute peeking out.

I have one in batiks I just did from a JR that WalMart had marked down when they closed the fabric department. Some of my fabrics "touch" more than I like in this one but that's OK. I found a beautiful batik for the back (on sale, of course). I've done 4 so far and I think that 3 of them are going to be given to the assault crises center. My sister loved the 4th one so it's going to be hers.

Thank you. :) I think that's wonderful that you have some designated for charity. I'm thinking about making one for the wounded veterans project. My hope is that I can find enough patriotic or red, white, and blue fabric on sale after the 4th and maybe make my own.

That's a great idea. You've given me an idea - I'm going to cut any left over R/W/B fabric into 2 1/5" strips and save them up until I get 40 and make one too. I'm thinking that they should be maybe 20 inches or longer? What do you think? That would give a good variety so that the strips don't 'touch' as much. Send me a PM and I'd be happy to share strips but I won't get to this until mid August.

I have just bought four jelly rolls and now I know what I can do with the one for my Great Granddaughter. It is called You Bug Me.

Thanks a million.

Thanks so much for sharing this great fast quilt. I had a lot of leftover fabric from a feather star quilt I just finished, so I cut 42 2 1/2"in strips and put it together in no time. It measures 56 x 63. My Husband saw it and decided he wanted it for his camping trailer. I am putting borders on it to make it a little larger. I will post pic's when I finish the borders.

I plan on making several more of these for graduations,birthdays and charity quilts. What an inspiration you have been for all of us.

I found this information that explains the quilts of valor program if anyone else is interested. It looks like a wonderful organization and a great way to put our quilting to a great cause. http://www.qovf.org/

You are a generous person to offer the fabric, thank you, but I'm finding plenty of what I want. :)

I'll keep my eyes open for jelly rolls with R/W/B and let people know when I find some on sale.

I had my first beginning quilt class today and it was a lot of fun!

As a new quilter, who has only done wall hanging quilts for quick gratification (and fear of huge projects), this is perfect. Thank you and bless you for posting this tutorial. I am going to give this one a try as soon as possible.

Sharon,
Welcome to the wonderful world of quilting!! It's soooo much fun and you will make great friends!
Glad you were inspired to give this one a go. I've really been rewarded to see so many get so much pleasure from this simple idea.
Can't wait to see your finished quilt if you decide to share a picture!
Happy quilting!
Robin
