Everywhere a strip, strip! 

Simply Stripes…. it’s simply strips.  Sew the strips, add border, done!  Use as many different fabrics as you like, or just a few.  The interest comes from the varying width of the stripes as much as it does from the fabrics. 

Strip Easy Quilt Pattern was a favorite in one of our recent newsletters.  Designed by Pat Bruce of Daisy & Dell, all the work of deciding where to put which strip is done for you.  A diagram shows where each strip should go.  The edges get sewn on along with the rest of the quilt and are made to look like a border, without the work of adding one!

Your favorite gradation fabric gives this quilt pattern its pizzazz.  It’s a bargello design without all the piecing. The detailed instructions also include pressing guides and quilting suggestions.  Crescendo is a fast, easy, and striking quilt.

Strips of a focal fabric with accent strips sewn in between creates the Streakers quilt.  Keep the same focal fabric, change the accent fabrics, and you’ll get a much different look.

Easy As 10…11…12 includes a strip quilt designed for 2.5″ strips.  Use a jelly roll, or get cutting!  And you get two other easy patterns for when you tire of stripy, stripey quilts.

So. No excuses. No time to make a quilt?! Give me a break:) You’ll finish these in “no time”!

 And, of course, there are plenty of patterns that make use of the rail fence block, which is just three strips sewn together and then cut into sections. 

Strip away!
