Using my own Christmas fabric, I finished a top today. I didn't count exactly 40 strips as I used left over pieces of fabric, fat quarters and some pieces that were the width of the fabric. I really like the way it turned out.
I'm thinking I should cut up all of my Christmas fabric into 2.5 inch strips. I could make a couple more of these and also use the strips to make 2.5 inch squares for 4 patch or 9 patch blocks. I've used up all of my Valentine fabric and most of my St. Patrick's Day fabric. Why not clear this out too????

Go for it!!!
I love it!! Maybe THAT will be one of the projects I bring to the retreat? If I precut my strips...I could get a top done!!
Now...what genre?
Deb, your envious sister who can't seem to get a quilt top finished!!
Love how your strip quilt top turned out !
Also,thanks for the pesto recipe. I made pizza last night and used some pesto instead of red sauce. Yum :)
Love you quilt on the clothes line!
9 patch quilt sounds like a fine project!
I agree with Jeanie--go for it!
Thanks for sharing, Carolyn
Your quilt turned out great! I'm thinking that I might steal this idea to use up my jelly roll.
Thanks for giving me an idea :)
Way to go Karen another finished quilt top! Beautiful work!
Very pretty...will make a great Christmas throw. About how long did it take to sew?
