LabbieMom - what a fantastic job you have done! I admire your courage to slash so many beautiful fabrics and believe, something even more beautiful will come out of them! How many have you used? And - am I right the technique was braids of different widths?

LabbieMom-- those colors are amazing. I have this pattern, but haven't had the nerve to do it yet.... yours turned out beautifully.

Wow, thanks for all the compliments!!!

Littlebit, I am indeed new to this forum. It's funny, before I was searching the web for other quick quarters and I didnt find any, last night I was reading a quilting magazine and saw the website and thought- I HAVE to go there!!

For anyone thinking of doing this- GO FOR IT! It does require that you stay focused. So oddly enough the 12-12 quilt class I signed up for was harder than being at home alone. They system Elenor has created is clear, I did make a few mistakes, but was able to fix them. I loved that I didnt have to truly match corners or points on this.
There are 24 fabrics, cut into 4" strips and sewn together- creating a loop. Then you cut the specified amount of different widths- like 4 2" wide loops, etc. There are 3 or 4 different widths.

I will say it's a bit of mystery as to how the quilt will truly turn out, but I knew I grouped the fabrics decently and trusted the process.

Im so thrilled to "meet" some other quilting people to "show" it to.

The quilters returned it to me and suggested I think about showing it. I have never shown anything- does it matter what show? How long do they have it?

okay, Im still working out posting photos. Here are the fabrics, after cutting into strips, but before sewing them in loops.
