Jess Kelly of SewCraftyJess posted a lovely "woven" quilt in the Moda Bakeshop called Simply Woven. After seeing it, I knew I wanted to tackle the quilt, although perhaps not so large as the original directions.
My own spin was made in blues and greens with a white for the background. All the strips were scraps (even the backing!) as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Finishing at 48" x 72", it should fit comfortably on a child's bed without being too ungainly to make their bed. Too often, I see my girls wrestle with the excess of their quilt. Hopefully (since I don't have a recipient in mind yet), this will be the perfect quilt.
I do regret that, in the third cut of this sew-and-slice quilt, I cut the wrong part of the block. Therefore, I have less "weave" to my "woven" than the original. It's still lovely, and it's still done!

Katie - this is VERY weird - just yesterday I was checking my stash for jelly rolls and found some in BLUE and GREEN to make the SAME pattern!! Great minds DO think alike - ;))
Very pretty! Great way to use up your scraps.
