Sewing Strips......

I thought a sewer of strips of fabric could be termed a stripper.... but apparently that doesn't fit the definition ....!!!!

Ooooops....

I have had a happy time stripping....  sewing strips .....


.... and more stripping .....lots of strips....


... and then slightly different stripping.... sewing the strips together....


... until a pattern on a flimsy formed.....

... can you spot the mistake in my act?..... 


.... here is a close up..... 


... a bit of reverse stripping and it is all fixed..... 


... fresh and pretty....


There were some blocks of white and colours left over and I have a little 'hint' of a need for grandiegirls made.... (nothing to do with stripping I might say - more of  a square dance this time) ...


Righto, Gotto Go.... I'm trying to tidy up things .. that's why this project came to light....

I see your sentiment, the maker of stripes could be a stripper........ whatever you call it, I love your quilt, very pretty, and no I couldn't spot the mistake. Lovely way to pass the time rather than tidying up xcx

Such a pretty quilt top, love that chevron pattern. Are the grandies getting doll quilts or cushions?

Beautiful colour way which looks lovely in this quilt pattern. Even after you said there was a mistake, I looked and looked for it on the whole picture....took me forever to find it. Hope it wasn't too much of a nuisance to fix
