I am continuing my deep dive into 3.5 inch strips. I collected my leftover strips and sewed them short end to short end to make a very long strip of fabric.
I pressed the seams open (as best that I could!) and cut my long strip into 50 inch sections. I then sewed the strips long sides. First two together, press, then four together and press then eight's and press. I continued until I had 23 rows of my 'made' fabric. I then trimmed it all to 49 inches wide. I didn't pay attention to where the fabric fell on the strips except I tried to keep the word up. Unfortunately one part of the words are upside down. :(
I added an inner and outer border and ta-da...my flimsy! This one only took about 4 hours of sewing!

Wow - look at that! I love it. The borders are perfect for this one, too!
That looks great - like a Lasagna Quilt! Love the view on your wall too ;-)
Each week you just churn out another amazing project! So productive and I love the patriotic ones using your scraps. Nice job!
Turned out great! Those borders really pulled the whole top together so nicely.
That really looks nice! Good idea!
