Thanks, Barb. Is this the order you suggested?

Also, I have attached a picture of another fabric that I found in my stash. Would you recommend replacing any of the others with this daisy fabric?

I like the new arrangement. I would think you have enough prints to tie in the tonal one. But that is entirely up to you if you want to bring in another.

Thank you so much for your help Barb. I actually had the daisy fabric pegged for another quilt so that's great. I have already started ironing and cutting my strips...wish me luck!

:-D

How difficult was it? I steer clear from them because they look so complicated and time consuming.

Gorgeous! Hard to do?

Good Luck. You might want to go the page 6 on the first Tutorial message

Remember you will need to cut eleven 2 1/2" strips of each fabric. You might like to try laying out your cut strips like I did on page 6 to get an idea how your fabrics are going to look.

Use the link above to let me know if you need more help on the next few steps.

I wouldn't say the design I make is all that hard to do....but I have made about 25 of these....so it should be getting easy for me.
The biggest problems I've ever had was getting confused as to which strip to sew on to another or when sorting the strips into stacks to sew together to make the panel to sub-cut. I have a system that works for me, but if I get distracted in, I sometimes have to stop and get my thoughts together before going on.

If you are thinking of trying to make one of these, you might want to go to the tutorials posted and look/read through those first.

My turtorials are here.
