I saved this picture a while ago.
I showed it to Manda when she was here. She has a two story house in WA state. She loved it!
I'm going to make 7.5 squares, backed with muslin. I cut some muslin squares. I plan to make each strip a different color family, so it will give the look of a rainbow. The longest strip will be 10 squares, and it will be blues. I'm going to stitch and flip the squares.
I got out the scrap bins. Yikes, I didn't realize I had so many! I started pulling and ironing blues for as long as the knees let me.
Because I'm using muslin as the filler, I'll let it act as batting. I'll back it by sewing the backing and front right sides together, then flip and do some top stitching, like I do with the table runners.
It should be a fun project. I'll ask Heather if she wants one for the steps to her finished basement. And I'll ask Steph if she has a wall that she'd like one for. I'm an equal opportunity mom, after all!
Yesterday we bought a dryer. Ours is on it's last legs. The new one, a speed queen gas dryer, comes tomorrow.
