The strip tease pattern from sentimental stitches was a quilt that my friend and I both made. I started assembly in October of last year. The top was finished in December. Then, it went into the 'to be quilted' closet for a vacation. I was surprised that I drew the number to quilt it so soon for March. I love that it is a wonderful memory of sewing with my quilting buddy. And it was a great stashbuster.

This is part of my 5 quilt project, I have been slowly building rows for my strip tease quilt. And guess who can't count? The problem with portable projects is that sometimes pieces don't make the transfers. I often find the missing pieces AFTER I finish the quilt, ususally, mixed in with something unrelated. LOL But, I shall persevere. I can make the 14 missing flying geese and missing 4 patches, again. And, then, magically, I will be ready to assemble the quilt.

I am slowly matching seams, and, getting my block pieces together in a rows for strip tease quilt. The more I do, the more I like it.
I've built all the blocks -12 long x 2 across- for my strip tease quilt
I have made progress on my strip tease quilt. I started with my quilting buddy, linda. Her quilt is a quilt ready for quilting, and, I am still trying to move it along as part of my 5 quilts project. Instead of sewing the columns vertically, I decided to make blocks that I can make horizontal rows. I have everything sewn into these size blocks. There are nine rows of vertical geese. Next, I will start to combine into something bigger.
There are ALOT of seams to match, yikes

I've started assembly for strip tease pattern. It doesn't look like much, I have worked on making twosies with the 4 patch and flying geese.
I knew I would not like making each row vertically as per instructions. I am trying: making blocks 4 x 3. I think it will help me break it into chunks, and, give me a better chance of keeping it straight.

I played a little bit with bits and pieces and making monkey wrench.
All the flying geese are done for strip tease pattern. I am ready for assembly. My quilting buddy has hers ready for quilting, so, I am behind. This is a truly scrappy quilt using 2 inch strips and pieces. I made the 4 patches along with the colors of the rainbow scrap challenge this year. It is one of my 5 quilts projects. There are 9 vertical rows of flying geese and 10 vertical rows of 4 patches.
strip tease pattern from sentimental stitches is a new project with my quilting buddy. I have bits and pieces for this for awhile. I showed it to Linda and she decided to join me getting this done. We both have the pattern and have started sewing the pieces. She is making hers in blues. I am doing all colors scrappy. I am cutting and making by color. I was sure I would be bored cutting it all or sewing it all, so, I do a few in each color and I am happy. I have done blue, red, green, and, brown. I am at least half way to finishing all the pieces.
