Your so right - Im all into them now. I have collected so much fabric that I want to get rid of. There are so many from back in the days when I would bring ANY fabric home with me. Now, I dont have room to fart in this house. I have to sew that stuff away and make room for other things - like pots and pans! PS - my little doggie did some time at the Vet. and seems to be doing much better!
I made enough 4 patch blocks to make two quilts. The second one needed to be mine. I made the first one to look like the one in the book. Why do that? Awhile ago I bought some fabric with roses on it that I was in love with but was afraid to use. I decided it was time. Here is how it came out - What do you think? Does the floral overpower the blocks? Is that a bad thing (if it does)? For me, the blend is perfect. I am dreaming about the bed on the porch of my childhood camp. It was iron and sometimes had a hornets nest somewhere inside. That is the truth! But, it was on a screen porch near the lake. I loved it there. And, this quilt is now part of the memory even though it never was. Here is the first quilt.
Strip quilts are therapeutic in some ways. Hope your little dog gets better!
