UPDATE
I have been creating and selling the 5″ by 108″ strips for over 3 years, and they are becoming very popular with all quilters.
And as the (true) story goes, this idea was introduced to me by one of my (elder) sisters. So, as I cut strips from each of my 108″ wide fabrics, and designed the rolling of the strips, and the tying of the strips with same color fabric. I was excited that my sisters were willing to help. As time went on, when restocking needed to be done, I conveniently was near or visiting, one of my sisters. (or did I conveniently scheduled restocking whenever I was with a sister) , either way, there is always a sister that is willing to help.
Thanks to all of you customers out there, and my sisters, I have come up with a name for the 5″ by 108″ strips. They will be known as:
“SISTER ROLLS”
(did you get it? I cut them and my sister rolls them)
A FEW IDEAS HOW STRIPS CAN BE USED:
5″ wide by 108″ long SEAMLESS STRIPS
-
To begin with, these Strips will make a great border with NO SEAMS to worry about.
-
At the same time, you can enlarge your quilt up to 9″ wider by adding a strip to each side
-
OR, add to the length to make 9 inches longer TOO
-
Also, you can bind your whole quilt when you cut 2 strips into FOUR 2 1/2″ by 108″ strips and have SEEMLESS binding immediately.
-
another key point, is that you can quick cut into Squares, Triangles, or short strips to be used in the quilt pattern
-
Equally important, you can quick cut into sashing and much more…
