Fall Sew Many Strips

This week I've been working on another Sew Many Strips Quilt. I am forcing myself to use a fall-colored palette which are not my favorite colors. I want to use up some browns and some old-fashioned looking dark florals. I also have some dull oranges to get rid of. I threw in a few greens and yellows too. It will make a good Thanksgiving gift for someone.

I have spent the whole week cutting and sewing these patches:

Even though I'm using fabrics that are not my favorites, I have high hopes for this quilt. I have never seen an ugly Sew Many Strips quilt, and I have seen a lot of them on the American Patchwork and Quilting Facebook site, since they hosted a SAL there last spring.

I have made 2 of these quilts already:
