I've Discovered Strip Blocks!

I have seen plenty of strip quilts and always thought they looked cute. I've never made any, although I am collecting blacks and whites to make one in the future. One of the ladies in my Tuesday quilt group is leaving us and moving to Texas.....THE NERVE!

We will miss her a lot and all making strip blocks to put a small memory/farewell quilt together for her. I didn't realize how FUN these are to make. I had a blast and when I laid them out I loved them!
Here are my blocks:

Now I'm fixin to make some strippy hearts appliques for memory blocks for a few people...I am really behind on this. Here the reds I cut out to make them:

She must be moving to Texas to get away from the snow and cold! String blocks are very addicting - watch out.

You're STRIPPING?? LOL Be careful there darlin'. I love the blocks -- they look great. I've been thinking of moving south too. We don't get much snow, but I'm sick of the cold.
