Gudrun @ GE Designs hosts a stripalong every spring: she refreshes one of her older 2 1/2" strip patterns and spreads the steps out over 3 weeks. Anyone can sew along with free access to her teaching. This year the spring Stripalong ran from April 26th through May 10th!
Quilt Info:
Pattern: Strip Tease 2.0 from GE Designs
The original pattern is on the right, and the updated version is on the left. ⤵️
Size: 66" x 84"
Batting: Quilters Dream 100% Cotton
Thread: Glide--Marlin
Pantograph: Bamboo Shoots ⤵️ from Intelligent Quilting
This quilting design is a very authentic version of bamboo! It's also very dense. After the first row I reconfigured the quilting to a taller row height. I'll go even taller next time!
Interesting Info: I made my version from Japanese prints I had in my 2 1/2" strip drawer. ⤵️ They were all leftover bits!
I had less red strips, which is why I have one row of red down the middle and two rows of each of the other colors, going from the center out.
Gudrun just announced her next one-day sew-along: Sunday, July 31st, starting at 10 AM CST!!!
Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy

This is so beautiful! It looks like beads on a stick. The fabric choice looks like it's one collection, I'm surprised they're actually scrappy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun quilt and quilt design. And I love the backing and binding in the same fabric. xo
ReplyDeleteThat's a great pattern. It's a really good looking scrappy quilt. Beautiful project. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm drawn to any rainbow design and that is a neat one! Your version of Strip Tease turned out beautifully, Nancy. So fun to see the Japanese prints, too!

ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to display your Japanese collection! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great guilt for using up your beautiful Japanese prints. I love that you had enough of one for the backing, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pattern for your Japanese prints! Lovely. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteI love this and so glad you had the strips to make it! The red in the center is perfect. I am so grateful for the computerized designs that let us make changes that make it just perfect for our quilts!
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how a different set of fabrics can transform an old pattern. Your Japanese fabrics are beautiful. Your quilt is amazing. The bamboo panto was worth the extra time. It turned out great!
ReplyDeleteThe fabrics are just fantastic, Nancy! Fun to see what you are creating!
ReplyDeleteThat's a pretty one!
ReplyDeleteI love your stripes of color throughout this quit, it really makes it stand out!
ReplyDeleteWow! This quilt is a knockout, with those lovely and fun Japanese fabrics. And your bamboo quilting is perfect for it. I love working with tsumugi. And I agree with you that having really long pieces to work with (for your binding) is so nice. The backing/binding is fabulous. Congratulations on a beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! I love the depth of the colors. Chrisknits
