Work Begins

 

Work on my son's "No Batting Quilt" begins. I will call it NBQ until I find another more suitable name.

I started cutting strips, and then did some math. The quilt will be quite large by my standards, but hey, it's for my son so naturally that isn't an issue. I just need to make a lot more blocks, so I needed a lot of fabric. This is the first batch of strips that I cut.

This is almost all the strips that I cut. After I took this photo I added about five or six lighter greens to the mix and cut them into strips.

I matched the strips into pairs and then sewed a few together.

These are some of the pairs I sewed together before I called it a night.

This quilt is a Nightingale quilt in all but color. It is made in exactly the same way. It is very easy. You can get the tutorial here, at my Etsy shop.
