All solid fabrics are cut and pieced into the stripes forming the basis for this semi-improvisational design. Stripes of various widths, and as small as 1/8 inch, were stitched together to create a piece of fabric before being cut and assembled into the blocks that make up the quilt top. The circular blocks were devised as stand alone units and placed on a design wall to develop the overall composition with the addition of more striped units.
