I am a newbie. I have my first quilt on the wall. I am basting it right now. I looked at Amazon.com and got some books on strip quilts. I thought I needed a little help to make a quilt with a pattern.
I love your quilts. I don't think you have too much trouble putting colors together. Those quilts are really beautiful. Too bad I didn't think to sew strips together. It would have been easier and faster. Oh well, I might try that another time.

I plan on using these all for scrappy quilts. If I can find and decide on a pattern. I am horrible at picking colors to match.
