Did you have to sew in tubes then cut or did you do this in strips?

Thanks Gale

Strips. The first one I did was in strips, so it's what I'm comfortable with. The directions for this one said to make a tube, but I didn't.

So, what's next on your to do list??? :)

I have to bind the two small bargellos, pick one up at the quilters, and then make some more log cabin blocks.

I changed the binding fabric and am so happy I did. Since it'll be binding many smaller projects, I ordered more. :wink:

This is one of my favorite pieces. Top five anyway.

Sure!! It'd be a nice small one to bring.

I love it! I find myself wondering if I have enough florals to make one.

It turned out BEAUTIFULLY! It has been so much fun to watch the progress of this quilt from selecting the fabrics (and reselecting!) to the finish. Thanks for lettings us all put our noses into your process!!!!!!
