Funky Stripes

Funky Stripes by Allison Quilt Designs is not your grandmas quilt -- which makes it perfect for that teenager or young adult that you need to make a graduation or college dorm quilt for! It uses two or more "funky stripes" that you probably saw on the shelf and wondered "what's a quilter going to do with that?" and it uses some big prints. Start cutting and strip piecing a funky stripe to a big print, subcut into triangles, sew two triangles together, set on point and, in no time, you've got a spectacular quilt -- that doesn't look anything like grandma's quilts -- and your teen or young adult will go wacko over! You'll hear some original phrases like, "awesome"and my other favorite, "totally awesome."

Call any one of the ladies at The Sampler, tell them what size (lap or twin) and the colors you'd like in your Funky Stripes quilt and they will be happy to assemble a kit especially for you from the latest Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I might make mine red, orange & yellow!
