I finally got back into doing some sewing, 4 weeks after my hip replacement surgery. I had enough confidence to go up the stairs by myself and sew with my leg that has the new hip.
I still had a pile of green fabrics and scraps from the previous 2 quilts, so I kept sewing the scraps and strips together. This time, I decided to make 6-1/2" x 9-1/2" rectangles. I started with a pile of strips cut at varying widths.



I knew that the angle of the skinny strips would be different on the blocks. I sketched the angle out on a piece of graph paper to see what angle I could live with. On some of the blocks, I offset the start and end of the strip at 2-1/4" in from the edge. And on the alternating row of blocks. I offset the start and end of the strip at 1-1/2" in from the edge. Here are my graph paper sketches.
Here is how the block was cut apart
Here is a progress picture of 5 rows of the skinny strips, showing the alternating angles.
I hope you like it so far!
