By now I should know better than to say I'm not gonna!
Just last week, I said out loud that I wasn't going to make another 1600 quilt. While they are quick and easy, the sewing is so boring. However, as I rummaged through my fabric this morning in another attempt to rid myself of old so I can add new, I decided that I had enough of the pink and rose colored scraps, when added to the muslin strips, to make a nice quilt. It took me a while to gather and count inches since I didn't have the full width of fabrics....but now that it's finished, I am glad I changed my mind about not making another 1600 quilt! The asymmetrical (unbalanced) placement of the pink strips makes me like it even more.
I'm not going to make another 1600 quilt (at least for a while).
But, in case you want to, just get yourself a jelly roll (or cut fabric you have on your shelf into 2 1/2" strips), watch this video then punch that sewing speed up a notch!

Looks pretty to me. And, an easy/quick project is fun once in awhile. I try to have one ready to work on when I get tired of working on the longer ones.
