Do you use 1.5" strips?
Usually, I see 2.5" strips, and jelly roll patterns for using those.
Just wondering if any of you have used 1.5" strips, and what you made from them. |
well i use 1 inch strips of black inbetween blocks. but not 1.5 jelly rolls so far.
|
The 1.5 strips are good to make purses, wallets or other accessories with. Doll quilts or tiny pp projects.
|
I used them once to make a purse but I don't really like to work with such narrow pieces.

Log cabin blocks

My daughter does LC wallhangings - my Christmas tree is lovely. I am going to use 1 1/2" strips on the light side of my uneven LC, so a light precut pack would work. Other than just outlines and such, I haven't graduated to such narrow strips.
|
Other than a narrow sashing or border, the only 1.5 inch strips I use are scraps that I put into string quilts.
|
The "Snake River Log Cabin" uses all 1.5 widths.
|
I've made several rail fence quilts using honeybuns.
|
I used them for log cabin blocks, sashings for some patterns, the front face of Attic Windows frames and string quilts, but when I'm stocking up my stash of strips I always cut the 2.5"
