I had about 30 fat squares in blue and green florals...not really my taste - I used all the ones out of the bundle I liked and had these left.
So I thought ya'll have been talking about tube quilting so much I would give it a try (plus I can only work on the penguin quilt while my dd is at school).
OMG - fun - although I got a little confused on the last 6 strips - I cut them right but apparently laid them down wrong. But fixed it - So here is my WIP - the next panel set will be in greens (these are blue) **I was able to get 36 20 inch long by 2 inch wide squares for each color scheme (blue & green)

Those materials would have sat under my sewing table for another year or 10 if it weren't for you ladies! The techniques and tricks are fab and doing this gave me a really viable use of fabrics I didn't like.
I was thinking of doing this for my MIL since I didn't like the placemats I did for her - but I'm falling in love with it as I go.
