See. Start with your ugly fabrics in your 2.5" strips. Uggggh. Well the polka dots are cute, I guess.
Start the magic.
Looking better . . . Just don't look too hard at the bottom left hand corner, there was a little teensy weensy unpicking disaster.
All tidied up and ready for the ball...
And ta-da. The magic happens. I think I need to play with my layout a bit more, but it's getting there.
So I get why everyone loves these. They're just kinda fun. And nice big blocks. I have just six left to do and then I'm going to start playing with Bernie's quilting stitches. Soooo cool. Well unless I stuff it up!
Linking up with Crazy Mom and Confessions of a Fabric Addict. Have a good weekend!

What a great trip along. The darker fabric gives it such a pop.

I haven't done one yet, Liz - keep meaning to get round to it! Yours is looking great :)
Those ugly fabrics are looking pretty good! I need to get back to working on my own scrappy trips...
Whoop whoop!!
Oh, I'm a girl with a blog who hasn't attempted this yet. My to do's are already too long. But someday I will. Yours is looking fabulous. I never would have guessed you had uglies in there because they really do look so nice all chopped up. Amazing!
