A few years ago, I decided to use Bonnie Hunter's "Scrap User's System" (http://quiltville.com/scrapusersystem.shtml). I cut and cut...and cut...and cut...and cut fabric into different sizes and shapes. While the system seems to work for everyone else, apparently I like to make quilts in every size and shape except the sizes and shapes in which I have those cut pieces. One of my goals for 2014 is to use as many of those pre-cut sizes and shapes as possible.
This quilt actually went together quickly. I sewed those pre-cut 2x4's together whenever I had a few minutes in the evening. Within a couple of weeks, the strips were completed. The white and green kona fabrics and the flannel backing were sitting on my shelves so got pulled and used. The quilting is minimal...just vertical lines 1/4" from each strip's edge. (I do think I should have used a little more quilting.)
I really like this quilt. It has a "usable" look to it and is cheery.
