    Default Guessing that this is paper pieced?

    Being lazy and just surfing and came across this. It's a Flicker photo, so no tut. I don't think heavy prints and florals would work. Any thoughts on this one?

    It looks just like the one I'm working on except I put sashing around each block. I paper pieced it. The strips are sewn diagonally onto the paper and then cut each block diagonally and put one block pieces top &bottom and another block pieces side to side. Very easy

    Not sure why it would have to be paper pieced. I think strip piecing would work, but by using foundation paper you'd be able to match your seams easier.

    I have the supplies to make something like this, but since it's not a string quilt I'm afraid of picking out the fabrics to get this effect. I see the first strip isn't set right on the diagonal middle now. maybe those two get sewn together first.

    Don't mind me, just thinking outloud. lol

    I love scrap quilts! This one is really nice. What a great collection of fabric this quiltmaker has!

    My guess is that they were 4 strips sewn together into a strip set and cut into triangles. Piece four of them together and you have your block.
    At least that's what I'd do if you aren't going to paper piece.

    After I looked at it more I was thinking that too. It just comes down to how many fabrics to choose I think.

    I have this filed and will think on it some more.

    Yes, or, if you sewed eight strips together in sets, and cut on the diagonal, several out of each strip set, wouldn't that work too?

    That appears to me to be a variation of the 3-Dudes quilt: Jelly roll strips sewn together, lay four sewn strips over another four, cut and make HSTs of the strips . . . think this is just a different placement. Whatcha think? Forgot the name . . . something Wells . . .
    Be warned. I am BORED.
    This could be dangerous.

    When you get cold just go stand in the corner.
    They are usually 90 degrees.

    A giraffe's coffee would be cold by the time it reached the bottom of his throat.
    Ever think about that? No? You only think about yourself??
