Thanks all...I put Cuddle on the back as well as batting (it comes in 90" widths...perfect, I bought 2 yards and put it crosswise on the frame. It worked up very well...and it's so soft! This is for DGS#1 for college in a year and half. And he likes it! I decided to get started on college quilts as he's the first of 13 and soon to be 14 Grands. Will have to see what DGS#2 is interested in. He's the following year.

SBG, they are not shirts, but homespuns and a few flannels. But the outcome would be the same with shirts. Thanks.

Fabulous, OK!! And, thank you for the tutorial. Great inspiration!

Lucky DGS#1! Congratulations on the upcoming #14. I like the calming strips in it. I usually try to do that on the super scrappy/orphan block quilts.

Thanks for the tutorial also.

I have actually started this quilt, but I didn't know it. Ha, ha. I have sewn a strip about four yards long of 2.5 inch width. None of the pieces are longer than 8 inches. (The 8.5 strips went into the other quilt.) And I have another few yards of 2 inch wide pieces. Now I can keep going; now that I know what I will do with them. Thanks for the inspiration !

You're welcome Mavita! This is a quilt I made with just 1 1/2" strips and yardage I had on hand. Post #27 tells how I put that one together. Please share your finished top!

That's a great way to use strip scraps. I have a ton cut to different widths. Many thanks for the idea!

that is a great idea, thank you for sharing

Very cozy and good use of scraps

I love this idea. Scrappy quilts are stress relievers for me to make. I have lots and lots of scraps. I will add this to my list for scrap quilt ideas. Thank you so much for the pictures and instructions.
