My Show and Tell for today is my strip quilt. I made this quilt one year, I believe 1996 when we got snowed in. I couldn't leave the house for 5 days, so decided to get out this fabric and make something. If you've ever heard of a strip quilt, it is SO easy. You just cut your fabric in 4 1/2 inch strips, sew them together side by side, turn the quilt, cut the strips in 4 1/2 " strips, and move them down one block, sew together again, trim the end, sew it on the other end, and it's finished = well except the quilting! 
I used fabrics that I had made my kids clothes from when they were babies, so it's a very memorable quilt too.
I placed my quilt on a quilt hanger with a shelf, that holds some of my Wizard of OZ Collectibles. Thanks for stopping by and looking around. I'm participating in Show and Tell Friday this week, and the address to see more is below. Thanks also for leaving your comments, I love it!www.romantichome.blogspot.com
Sandi, I so admire your beautiful work of art! I have tried my hand at quilting and it is not easy. I love the colors and pretty fabrics. It makes a big statement on your wall.

It might be easy if you can sew! I love the idea of making it with your children's clothing fabrics...how special it must be for you, it is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. What a nice way to pass the time when you are stuck in bad weather conditions.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful quilt - and so colorful. It may be easy to you, but as a non sewer and non-quilter, it amazes me whenever I see a gorgeous item like this :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your strip quilt and that you made it from your children's clothes! How special that quilt is.
