Quick Strippie Quilt on the Wall

It was time for an easy summer quilt and I found the perfect pattern, thanks to Miss Carol from Sweet Peas and Possum, on MaryQuilts.com called the Quick Strippie Quilt.  Be sure to look at all the variations of this pattern on her site.  It makes a great child's quilt too.  This was by far my quickest quilt yet.   I added some side borders to make it a little wider.  The finished size is about 44 X 60.

 The material was purchased a few years ago at the Vermont Quilt Festival and had no idea what I was ever going to do with it, but loved the different quilts displayed on the fence with the old houses in the background.   The line of fabric is Diane Phalen for Elizabeth's Studio and the yellow print was a coordinating fabric.  The darker blue was from my stash and will also be the binding color after I find a suitable backing.  This one is a keeper.
Happy summer quilting to all!
