I've mentioned I've been doing this on the 'Today' thread, so I thought I'd better show you what I've been up to.

I bought the download pattern for this off Etsy. It's called 'Fine Lines' by Karen Griska. She's got several other ones I like but I picked this one.

The background fabric is a lovely dark navy...(spraytime)..but it's photographed really badly and it looks washed out.



Thirty blocks with three-quarter inch multi-coloured strips, at whatever angle you fancy. It's been great to use up lots of little strips of fabric.

I added all the sashing between the blocks....then, today I've been making up the outer border.



A bit of a faff, but luckily I was in the mood to get on with it.

   

When the strips were joined together it had to be trimmed down to 1 1/2" sections...then joined into longer strips to fit all around the sides.





Need to think of binding and backing...but for now it can stay as it is.

Looks great and the border is so effective.

Very nice. If I were to make a quilt, that's the sort of design I'd pick.

I love it! I've got this pattern on my to-do list, as I have a huge box of strings to use up. I really like it on the navy blue.

 :o  It would need to be ...gulp....quilted  :S  I'm OK at the sewing bit, but I'm not a quilter.

Thanks to everyone for all your lovely comments.  <3
