Simple quilt as you go Quilt!

Sometimes you just need to make a simple quilt!  Sometimes you just want something to be simple.  Here is my simple go to quilt! 

I’ve made a few of these over time.  They are so pleasant and easy to piece.  Especially when you precut them ahead of time, so when you need them, they are there.

To do this, I buy several pieces of coordinating fabric.  Usually by the yard.  Sometimes it’s a few yards. I randomly cut strips 2.5-6 inches by the width of fabric.  This will be your entire top.  I make enough to cover about 56 inches, minus the 1/4 inch seam. 

The backing, I use a product called “Bo Nash adhesive” or fusible fleece.  I cut a piece of fleece about 43 inches wide by the width of fabric.  Then I adhere a piece of backing fabric about 58 inches long on one side.  

Then,  lay the precut strips out in the design you would like

     I usually don't sell my quilts but have had so many requests lately.  So I have decided to make a few simple ones to sell and see how it goes. 

     I bought a bunch of this Riley Blake material when it was on sale because I just loved it!  When I cut the 2 quilts out for my nephews a few months ago I cut enough to make one more in hopes to start selling.  Well I never found time to do that until now.  It's a simple quilt as I go pattern so it doesn't take that long. I did little helicopters all along the boarder. 

     I have decided to try to make at least 2 simple quilts each month to sell.  Don't know how realistic that goal is but I am going to try.  My only problem is pricing. Anyone out there have ideas what fair charges are for quilts?
