Strippie Sampler

Quilt # 90

Strippie Sampler is a king size quilt measuring 96" x 96" and it was made as a class sample to teach various strip-piecing and seminole techniques.

Strippie Sampler

I chose five fabric ranging from dark to light and a solid black for the background.

When choosing fabric I also try to look for different types of print - large, medium and small prints, tight design with hardly any background showing and a more open design.

The techniques shown in this quilt show variations of:

Straight Set (made of squares, rectangles or strips sewn together end to end), 

Dogtooth Borders (border strips using triangles), 

Diagonal Set (using strip-piecing)  

Pioneer Braid (including Chevron and variations).

The pictures below show the following strips:

1. Four Patch or Checkerboard

2. Chevron Triangle Variation

3. Curling Ribbon

4. Combination Strips

5. Chain of Squares

6. Wide Dogtooth

The outside border is called a Ribbon, a diagonal set made up of alternate stripped segments and plain strips of the same size,.

For the back I pieced one of my hand-dyed muslin with two strips of one of the prints that was used on the front.

Back of Strippie Sampler

Strippie Sampler was quilted by the St Peter's Quilters, a group of ladies who quilt at St Peter's Anglican Church in Kirkland Lake and donate the proceed to the church.
