Well, shoot! I couldn't resist this strip pattern so here is another.
When digging out blues,
I found lots of colors
that would look good in a quilt.
Here is another variation of the indigo blue pattern.
Some colour strips were made
during the creation of the blue strips.
They looked very colorful and I tucked them in
with a strip with a white square.
It was very successful!
I kept stitching,
laying the new creation on top of the old.
The white squares in the center of each column
are more randomly placed.
The pieced sashing would make it
too wide so I stuck with just simple strips.
The film strip border was very fun to make,
I even got to use a Christmas basket to stash the square pairs.
A majority of the border squares were pieced individually
to use up smaller scraps. I certainly have plenty of those!
It filled up very fast.
The process of adding the columns was so much fun,
that I sewed up an extra column.
This made the intended twin size quilt,
very close to a queen size quilt!
Alas, I wasn't aiming for queen size,
the final column was removed,
and set aside for another installment
of these variations. A little creative cutting.
will make these blocks suitable for the next episode.
My favourite film strip border,
was continued all around the quilt.
There is one more variation of this I would like to try.
It has no white squares in the columns,
but includes the pieced sashing between the columns.
It may also have a pieced outer border.
We'll see how the next variation turns out!
Stay safe and stay warm!
It is very cold here today!
Note the wind chill temperature!
