Since I haven't made one before and don't have a pattern, it'll just be done when I get to the right size or run out of material, whichever comes first! :lol: Don't be counting on my process just yet! It could still need to be done a different way than what I'm doing it. I'll let you know when I'm done with it.
One thing that I did realize this morning was that when Billie Lauder said to make it in 3 or 4 sections and then sew them together, she had to of been talking about top to bottom sections, not + sections like I was thinking. I'm learning!
Thanks again for the interest and I hope when I get this done, I will be able to help people to make one.

Ran out of one of my material and had to send of to get more so I can do the bottom half. Had alot of little pieces left that I just turned into a lap quilt. But still going to do another if I get threw with this one. So good luck.

Alright everybody! It's time for more pictures! Are you ready? At first I was going to lay out a whole "section", from bottom to top, and sew it together. That's the first pictures.
Then I decided that I should probably lay out my main focus first and then I can see where I need to go from there. So there are some pictures of my main focus as it is so far.
I need to sew more strips, loop them and cut them next.
I told my DH that I'm afraid I might run out of some of the materials that I'm using. I have enough strips left to make 3 more tubes. I've made 4 already. Anyways, I told him that I will probably just get everything laid out before I sew anything together. I will make sure to get my main focus points done with the material that I have. If I run out, I may have to use black or something to fill in the gaps. We'll just have to wait and see what happens.
So, here are some more pictures. Enjoy! It is alot of fun doing this quilt. I love all the ways you can lay it out and get different patterns.

I was just looking at the pictures and saw that on the wedge, I had left the whites showing. I will probably lay it out more like these pictures, covering the white.
