Square One

I started quilt #3, Strip Strip Star, and hated it. 

 Rainbow Bricks

Actually, I hated that after 8+ years of quilting I still can’t sew a d*mn straight line when it involves long strips. Tried every trick I've ever heard, plus every sewing foot I own, and those stripes could walk around corners, they were so bowed. 

 

So. Stars are out and bricks are in. 

I’m making these oversized and trimming them down so it won’t matter if my seams are wonky. (So far they haven’t been. Go figure.) 

That extra step is soooo worth it. I’m really pleased with how this is turning out. 

Plus, I get to play with an Hawaiian rainbow. So fun.
