Last week, I got busy working on a row quilt, featuring blocks that are typical of the Pacific Northwest. So far, this is what I have accomplished though am losing interest since paper piecing is NOT my favourite technique.
Today I was motivated to play with the 1600 inches quilt and made a quilt top which will be my Quilt of Valour project that I will demonstrate to those in the Fraser Valley who want to make and donate to this worthy cause.
Too warm in my sewing room for now but feel good that I got to play with this technique. A quick and easy quilt though I would rename it the 3 bobbin quilt. Took lots of thread but was made, from start to finish in 2½ hours.
Carolyn, obviously I have been quiltmaking too long! Years back (at least 10) when I belonged to the FV quilt in Surrey they had a premie quilt pattern the same as this stripy one in the picture above. I actually made a half dozen or so for our guild -- I think it might have been an A. Nolan idea...

So true Susan. This 1600 quilt is all over the internet with many variations. A great way to use up strips of fabric.
