"One inch strings" by me

 

I found the idea for this quilt is a magazine, and then didn't even keep the pattern.  (There isn't much too the pattern).  Just cut strips of fabric to equal widths.  The pattern called for 1.5 in wide pieces.  Then the length can be whatever scraps you've got.   Piece them together into long "strings" of the desired length.  My measurement was to stretch my arms wide and when the piece reached between my fingers with arms outstretched, it was the right length.  Since this isn't an accurate measurement, you end up with crooked edges.  Those were cut off straight before quilting.

The backing is also pieced from multiple fabrics.I had a collection of flannel squares that I had serged together into several small potential quilt tops or backings, but changed my mind.  Stitched them all together to make the backing nearly large enough, then had to add a couple of pieces of found pieces of flannel from mom to make it large enough.  The only thing in this quilt that is not leftovers from another project is the batting!

Donated to a police officer who has someone in her life who has recently started a medical treatment and will gift this to that person.  I felt badly that they are getting such a funky quilt and not a "nice" one, but I hope that this will bring them some comfort.
