Shop Hop is coming up in about a month here in Atlanta. This year, each shop will be giving out 10 strips of fabric that are 2 1/2” x 22” or half a strip. There are 10 shops so if someone collects all the strips, they will have 100. Each shop is making a quilt from the strips and that is what I am working on today.
Here is the start. Since each strip is only about 20-22 inches long, there is not enough to go all the way around the focus fabric. I paired up the strips with similar colors and will make 50 of these blocks. Then I will sew them into pairs and finally into 5 rows of 5 blocks. That should get it to about 60 inches square before borders. So far, so good.
