Interesting Info: You can still go through all the sew along teaching videos at your own pace for free, through Gudrun's blog here: Strip Along 2023.

I went through my scrap strip drawer and pulled all the Japanese strips I could find. Here are some close-ups:

If the strip was too short and I had 2 strips, I pieced them together to get a long enough strip. 

No duplicates--one square per print. 

When I ran out of Japanese prints I pulled blenders to fill in. I ended up using 75% Japanese fabrics and 25% blenders--a nice mix!

For the back, I followed a pattern from Kelly @ My Quilt Infatuation's new book, Perfectly Pieced Quilt Backs, which is being released in June. This book is amazing!!! Come back mid-June when Kelly's book is released for the reveal of this and the three other quilt backs I've made from Kelly's new book! ⤵️

You can see 200+ different versions of Strip Twist starting at 10:50 on Gudrun's video, below, including table runners, quilts of all sizes, flower versions and many color variations!!! (It lasts for less than 5 minutes):

What an easy, fun quilt to make!!! Got a jelly roll? Or some extra strips? I recommend it!!!

Grace and peace!!! ~Nancy
