I like to make scrappy quilts, but using a controlled color palette - when I make them this way they are always my favorite - but I have also made the "anything goes" versions with equally good results. Different people always have a different favorite and sometimes it is a huge surprise as to who likes what!<BR/><BR/>Cheers!<BR/><BR/>EvelynEvelyn aka Starfishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12025353776081066815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32363339.post-1164776115707840892006-11-28T21:55:00.000-07:002006-11-28T21:55:00.000-07:00Awesome string quilts.

I do string-pieced strips on my quilt backs, just for interest and to use up scraps from the fronts, as well as stretch my backing fabric when needed. I know the Piece o' Cake girls (Linda Jenkins & Becky Goldsmith) always do strip piecing on a foundation, but I'm not sure I see the value of it. I've not had trouble with it stretching. Why do you foundation-piece? Just curious.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
