I used Bonnie's trip directions to make this great quilt. I cut my strips 2" by 19", used 9 strips in each set, and found if I squared off the sewn strips before I made it into a tube, it laid flatter for me.
I used a wild assortment of scraps of fabrics--often very ugly ones. I used a bright yellow or dark red in each strip set.
Thanks, Bonnie, for another fun project. My son Seth has claimed this one. I will take it along on vacation to do the handwork on the binding.

had to laugh at the cheerio shirt of the holder -- we went for the backpack many years ago...
And the quilt yellow matches the shirt so well. :) It turned out great!

You have inspired me to try this one next. I am cutting my strips now. I finished the cancer quilt top, just need to decide on quilting, soo I can now move one. Nice quilt.
I love the different fabrics in that quilt. This pattern of Bonnie's is one I've wanted to do for a long time... I think your picture is the inspiration I need!

Ohhh Lynn!! That is sooooo pretty!
another gorgeous quilt - really wonderful
Just fabulous. I think it was Ami Simms who says "if the fabric is still ugly, you haven't cut it small enough yet!"
Great job!!
What a great way to use up those 'ugly' fabrics that somehow mysteriously appear in your stash
Lynn it is gorgeous! I just love all your scrap quilts!
As usual, Wonderful!!!
Oh Lynn, I do love it! Your's really makes me want to make one!
great use of colors...very fun quilt.
Well, some of the individual fabrics might be a bit ho hum, but the finished quilt is stunning! I have a similar top nearly completed, and you've given me incentive to finish it. I like it when the boys claim the quilts :-)
what a gorgeous quilt!
Oh I love this with the 2" strips! I've got about 20 blocks of the same done....love it! Now I am encouraged to keep going on them!

Great result !
I love this quilt, the squares look smaller than others I've seen and I love the effect. Love the quilting too. Thanks for the picture.
