STRIP QUILT WITH A MODERN TWIST
Many rug hookers are also or were also . . . quilters before becoming hookers . . . myself included!
I can not resist still sewing coloured fabric together and have always 2 or 3 quilts in the making.
Make a block first on graph paper to decide your size. . . . then . . . .
Cut up hand torn strips of coloured wool to sew up a great simple quilt!
This design reminds me of Jennifer Manuels beautiful hooked rug she is working on now . . . displayed on her fisheye blog . . . .
It takes well over 160 something blocks put together as pictured above but results are worth it . . . .
another great fun way to learn about VALUES!

Beautiful pattern! Quilting is one thing I would like to do, but I won't let myself start one more thing I know would turn into another obsession!!!
