pink/black/white scrappy tube quilt
#31
I will HELP you!
They will rue the day that they let us in there (oh, yes! I will be there, too, and I have a PLAN!) :wink:
I was thinking about how to make those tube quilts scrappy, and I was reminded of a tip I read in some book.
The lady cut full width strips, a whole bunch of different ones. Then, she cut one in half and started sewing the strips, just butting the next one up against the one that was running out.
She didn't think that there was much waste (and, if you are in to scrappy, there will not be ANY waste <g>) ... but, it allows the colors to move through the quilt, be scrappy, but not too many of a certain combination to look stilted - - if that is a good descriptive word.
<wave>
