Make an Easy Checkered Dresden Quilt with Jenny! New Tutorial
God, Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The stash to make a quilt to help me cope,
A quilt to give to comfort those I love in times of hurt, fear and uncertainty.
And the courage to keep on sewing when life itself seems held together by a single thread of hope.

That would be very pretty Sherri!
You can also insert batting in the circle. Takes a little longer but looks nice. I blanket stitch around the center too.
I was thinking this would look great as a scrappy quilt.

I was actually she would have one in brighter colors. So I agree Sherri, that would be a good line to use.

I am going to try this with some scrap strips . It has so many seams to match ! I think it will be great for place mats.

Wouldn't this look good with today's DD?
Blessed are the children of the piecemakers for they shall inherit the quilts!

Great idea, nice to use up those misc. leftover strips! I am also thinking of using today's DD with this one.

Procrastinate. It frees up time to quilt!

What if you varied the size of the strips?
Like alternate 1 1/2" with 2 1/2"?
Would offset the seams that way but would it look good?
