Quilt Top: Two Hours' Worth

I love this method of quilting. The top goes together so fast. Above is what I began with this morning: the fruits of last evening's labor of ripping sheets and pillowcases into three-inch wide strips of varying lengths. (That's the roll you see with the red and white checks on the outside.)
I sewed the strips together randomly, into longer strips of 72 inches each.
I used my sewing table to measure. When a strip reached over and back again, like this one, I trimmed it off, rolled it up, and tossed it onto the carpet below.
Here are the fifteen 72" strips rolled up and ready to be sewn side by side.
The strips were sewn five wide.
The fifteen rolls made for three five-roll-wide strips, each about 72" in length.
I cut these strips into squares, using the triangle measuring technique I used to use for paper airplanes.
I then pressed each square so it laid flat.
Before two hours was up I was arranging the squares into the pattern I will use for the quilt top. Now all I need to do is sew the bars that will join the squares all together.

I also love this method because it is chock full of surprises. I don't know what the squares will look like until they are cut. Great fun!
