looking for pattern

[mccam69]

Hi All, I have been looking for a pattern that I have seen made several times but not sure how to make it myself. I don't know if it has an offical name so it makes it very hard to find a pattern. I am hoping that if I can explain what it looks like someone can help me. It is a a strip quilt with all horizontal strips, each strip is a differerent size from one side to the other. So it could start off as 3 inches on the left but only be 2 inches wide on the right. Does this make sense.. Any help would be great.. Thanks, Jana

I know exactly what you mean but I don't think it has a specific name. My mum's making a similar quilt from a magazine, I'll have a hunt and see if I can find a pattern online

Re: looking for pattern

3 inches to 2 inches doesn't sound like much size variance. Does it gradually get smaller or are the sizes all different throughout the quilt? Oh and do the strips run the full length/width of the quilt?
Sorry one more, quilt or wall hanging?

The problem is I have only seen these quilts from a distance at a quilt show or magazine, One strip with run the whole length of the quilt but it could be made up of different fabrics. The strips get larger or smaller from side to side. But it is not that one strip is small on the right and larger on the left and then the next one is opposite, it was much more jumbled looking. This probably makes it more confusing but it is all I have.. Thanks..

Hi Jana. I haven't managed to find a quilt where the strips are the whole width of the quilt. Here's a tutorial for strip foundation piecing: Foundation pieced strip quilt

I think you could extend the straight foundation pieced strip block to the width of a quilt and you would get the effect you're looking for.
