I do (especially when they’re on sale!!) If you don’t, then you might want to look again. There are so many varieties now. One new one is the 10″x 2 1/2″ mini-strip pack.
I worked with the Morning Mist Collection from thefabrichut.com and came up with this cool, summery pattern for a super-quick lap or baby quilt. Take a look at the lovely floral fabrics: 40-Piece Cotton 2.5” x 10” Mini Strips – Morning Mist Collection – The Fabric Hut

So light and airy. These prints are done in luscious soft teals and mints.
The pattern is super-easy, just 2 (vertical and horizontal) strip blocks, but the pattern consists of using the lights and darks effectively.
There’s also a trick to seaming! You can’t use 1/4″ seam. All is explained in the pattern and in my video on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpkO1_3w75g
I also explain how and why to make a diagonally pieced binding. So if this sweet little lap quilt appeals to you, go check it out. I just launched it today, 5/7/25, and have it half-price ($3) for the first week. The strip packs are also on sale right now (just saying….)
Cheers! Libby
