Pattern: Strip Off from Stripology by Gudrun Erla
Size: 37" X 37"
Batting: Quilters Dream Orient
Thread: Glide 60--Mocha
Quilting: Bangkok by Sarah Ann Myers @ Urban Elementz
Interesting Info: I made this as part of the QAL that Gudrun is currently running, info here. The QAL includes 6 different patterns that use 1 1/2" strips. I started out with 6 tin boxes full of vintage strips (pre-2008). This is my second strip quilt. See my first strip QAL quilt here, Strip Lash.
The quilting, Bangkok, resembles candle flames here, set on yellow blocks:
I extended the backing to the needed length by adding some Grunge across the middle of this butterfly fabric:

ReplyDeleteThe gold cornerstones and bindings make this quilt zing!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore these string blocks made into snowballs. What an awesome idea. They look so good together with those "floating" cornerstones too.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt..love all those fall colors.
Have a great day!
What a great way to use up those strips! I'm so intrigued by your QD Orient batting. I remember reading that one LAQ has been converting her customers from poly to Orient and they're loving it, but I can't remember why. Does Orient shrink a little like an 80/20 or does it wash more like poly, but with a better drape to the finished quilt?
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my place...you asked if I turned the edges on my tile blocks...I use needle turn applique to turn the edges. Have a great day!
These strip quilts are looking great. Looking forward to seeing more.
ReplyDeleteLove this one too! My colors - the purple and this one! So cute!
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, another gorgeous quilt! Take care.
