Welcome! Do you ever have days when you don't want to measure or think too much? This project is very forgiving. It can be as wonky or as measured and even as you like! In this project example I did not feel like measuring strip widths of my scraps, so I just sewed them on wonky! And that is sometimes the best.
I am using up almost the last of a great old mid-century sheet set I found last fall at a sale! I will probably get one last project out of this set. It's really gone a long way!
Do you have an old sheet set around? Do you have scraps lying around, or want to clear out some stash? Take those old sheets, cut them into strips (whatever size YOU choose!) and make something remarkable... AND ... remarkably FAST AND EASY! This fast & easy project can be done in a day. Strip Quilt Blocks have been around a LONG time, but the possibilities are endless. I was happy to be able to save some old sheets from the landfill! I think the blocks are SEW CUTE! I hope you try this out YOUR way!
MY PROJECT TIME:
To get my finished blocks (I have not finished the quilt top yet) I have spent 5 hours so far. I estimate another 2-3 hours to sew blocks together into a finished quilt top. So a very easy to achieve quilt in a day project.
MY MEASUREMENTS:
Sheets were cut into 4" strips
Various scraps were cut haphazardly into more strips. I didn't measure widths on the scraps.
