Welcome to the Strip-easy Quilt Challenge!

By Denise Russell

 Grab button for Pieced Brain

It has been one month since I announced today’s quilt challenge – Strip-easy. Most of us have tons of fabric strips, leftover from previous projects, stashed in drawers, boxes, bags… This is a great way to use them up: by making projects, big or small, using mostly strips we already have cut.

    Denise I love scrappy quilts and accessories. Thanks for hosting this challenge. I had fun making my table runner and using up some scraps too! I will be checking back to see if more links are added to the linky.

    I like that table mat. That kind of project is just the right size for practicing my FMQ. Thanks for the strip challenge Denise, I really enjoyed it!
