BE told me about a strip piecing technique where you can create crazy quilt blocks. The steps are:<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/font> <\/div>\n
1. Cut sets of strips 2″, 3″ and 5″ wide. Each should be a different, but related fabric.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
2. Sew strips together into one big piece of fabric in the following order 235235235235 etc.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
3. Take new piece of fabric and cut strips 2″, 3″ and 5″ wide on the bias<\/u>.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
4. Reorder the strips into an attractive grouping and sew them together again in the 235235235 etc order.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
5. Take new piece of fabric and cut strips 2″, 3″ and 5″ wide on the bias<\/u>.Cut them in the opposite direction as step #3.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
6.  Reorder the strips into an attractive grouping and sew them together again in the 235235235 etc order.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
7. Cut blocks from the new fabric in a variety of sizes.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
8. Sew blocks together with sashing in between.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
9. Label and finish as you would normally.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
<\/span><\/font> <\/div>\n
BE got the fabric from a fabric company that was going out of business, so she made the ends of the bolts and the strips do for this quilt.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
