Time-Saving Quilts with 2 1/2" Strips

British Patchwork & Quilting

A selection of nine quilts which use 2 1/2" strips from a variety of different designers. Background fabrics are also required for these quilts. Full size templates are provided and there are tips such as using starch when dealing with bias edges.

Instructions are clear and there is a Quilting Basics section with limited information to finish the quilts. Ideal for beginners but these quilts would be of interest for the more experienced too. Some good ideas for quick-pieced quilts which would work for charity makes. These quilts would also be a starting point for using up your left over strips.

The quilts are simpler single block quilts, a mixture of two blocks combined. I particularly liked the 'Strippin' Hexies' which was a clever use of strips and background to give a giant hexagonal effect.

A useful book for strip quilt ideas.
