At the end of the this month, our quilt guild is having a group sewing day to work together making baby quilts for a local pregnancy center. I had offered to make a sample of a quilt-as-you-go style quilt to show at our most recent guild meeting, and I ended up making two. They are so quick and easy, making this a very fun, satisfying project.
Quick Strippy baby quilt, 38" x 48"
The first baby quilt was based on the Quick Strippie pattern from maryquilts.com. I cut my largest strips, the swirly print, a little smaller than her pattern, but otherwise followed her cutting instructions.
Quicker Strippy baby quilt, 40" x 42"
The second baby quilt features a pastel print that I've had for at least two decades. This quilt was based on Mary's Quicker Strippie pattern, although again I changed some of the strip sizes. The wide strips of the pastel print finished at 9" high, so I added a couple horizontal lines of quilting on each to hold them in place.
Making one of these quilts was my One Monthly Goal (OMG) for January. I will be joining the One Monthly Goal link-up, hosted by Anne-Marie at Stories from the Sewing Room when it opens later this month.

These are so perfect for QAYG! So fast and easy to make. I bet your group will be making a ton of them for charity. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

LOL -- if there's a Quick Strippie and a Quicker Strippie, what does the Quickest Strippie look like? Joking aside, both of these are really nice. Your service project is a great idea.
