Good save! It's very nice. Did you paper piece it? I think my next quilt will be similar. I did a tester block, and love it. But I had a hard time pulling out a random strips from a pile.

No, its not paper pieced, I just cut 6 1/2" squares from a sheet and then sewed the fabric strips to it, four of those squares made one 12" block. I can't just sew random strips though, I have to have some sort of colour combination.
