Strip Its! Finally......

First, I will remind you of what Strip Its! are. The bolt of fabric consists of a number of 2-1/2" strips in different patterns running horizontally. When I saw these I knew they had possibilities......almost like Jelly Rolls on a bolt! They come in black, cream, tan and white.

I decided to start with black and white. At first I thought you could cut 2-1/2" vertical strips then pin and match up the 2-1/2" increments but that didn't work so well....so I cut each 2-1/2" segment in order to work with them.Here I made 4 patches which are really nice and may actually become a quilt as I continue experimenting......

Next, I took my vertical strip, and paired it up with a co-ordinating 2-1/2" strip of fabric to strip piece......I used a fat quarter here so the Strip It! strip is also cut in half.

I then cut my 2-1/2" segments out at each pattern change......

I made 4 patch blocks again and this time I changed the arrangement....Hard to see but I'm not really liking this combo so we may have 2 quilts in the making....however I have more ideas on the horizon and to be honest the possibilities here are endless......

As I was working with them - new ideas were coming to me so stay tuned because these Strip Its! are going be a quilt top in the near future.......with more and more block and cutting possibilities.

Happy Quilting!
