Super Simple Strip Quilt ~ Day 2

So now you should have 1600" of fabric, with seams trimmed and pressed.
Once you find them, match your two ends, right sides together.
Follow your fabric all the way back to the fold...make sure that neither end is twisted or turned the wrong way. I tried to imagine ripping out 1600" of stitching...not a pleasant thought.
Once you're sure it's all laid out correctly, start at your two matched ends and sew...sew...sew...with a 1/4" seam.


Once your 800" seam is complete, trim the folded edge at the bottom, match the two ends again, make sure it's all lined up, and sew a 400" seam. Keep doing this until your quilt is approximately 50" x 60." It goes amazingly fast since you double the width of your completed sewing each time you fold it in half.

In less than an hour, I had this!
Now to find some border, binding and backing fabric to finish it off!
