THANK YOU WALMART!

 I bought two jellies from Walmart last week.  The colours are so bright!

I added the black to it and sewed 6 strips together of part of the strips.

I'm making this for a boy so I didn't add the girlie stuff.

I then cut 11" blocks, added another black strip to opposite strips.

This is just a sample of what I may end up with. 

This now measures about 36" wide and with a large border to be determined, I've got an easy strippie quilt which looks amazing if I do say so myself!
I used part of the jellies you see here on the right.  Cost about $10.00 each and I have enough to make a few more easy strippie quilts to finish at the cottage.

The Missouri Star Quilt Co. must be thanked for showing this easy quilt.

They have so many tutorials for easy fun sewing.  I'm hooked!

I find great fabric at my Walmart too. I am almost ashamed to say it. I have found the same fabric on line at twice the cost. I like your bright colors.

I adore those brights with the black. It's looking fabulous.

I love the tutorials over at Missouri Star. They explain things so well.

Well done! It has a distinctive Nanci-look to it. Once again, you have produced a beauty. The recipient is a lucky boy.
