P.S. I Quilt – Postage Stamp Quilt Along – Assembling Strips

I’m working on a postage stamp quilt for the P.S. I Quilt Postage Stamp Quilt Along that started this week. I was finally able to start sewing when my Kona solids arrived in the mail today. For the postage stamp effect, basically you sew 2.5″ strips the length of the fabric. Then you cut them again to make 2.5″ strips the height of the strips you just sewed. This saves a lot of work as opposed to cutting each individual 2.5″ squares and sewing all those tiny squares together.

I’m a little tired tonight otherwise I would have sewn more. I figure if I can manage to sew 3 sets each night for the next 4 nights I will still be on track before the next list of instructions are announced on Monday.

    I love the bright solids. I’m doing white, which is just not as adventurous.
