You could try cutting the strips in half so they're about 21 inches long to vary the combinations and still go the strip-piecing route. <br /><br />Just how odd is the odd color?Ann Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01373133483861905896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955703767486616116.post-17064417174444161522011-10-03T17:49:45.255-05:002011-10-03T17:49:45.255-05:00Love the star quilt! especially the setting square...Love the star quilt! especially the setting square fabric.
