A strippy quilt design relies on alternating vertical bands of pieced blocks or printed fabrics with solid, continuous strips of sashing. This traditional construction method allows quilters to assemble large sections rapidly without matching complex intersecting seams. It is highly associated with historic Welsh and North Country quilts.
Heard on the job
I'm planning a strippy layout for these floral blocks so I don't have to worry about the horizontal seams aligning.
Insider tip
Strippy layouts are highly forgiving for beginners because variations in block height are absorbed by the vertical columns.
