Because there have been questions about the Lap Quilt Beginnings...

Here is what it looks like so far...



Here's some conceptual images of what I'm riffing off of in terms of construction; except the "quilting" part (i.e. the stitching on top) is probably going to be a bit...creative. And FUN. I may also applique a tree on top in green. Still deciding; I have fabric that's possible.

Here's a mini tutorial about the style of "strip quilts" (ha!) which kind of covers the description of how it's done, but not really completely? I mean, I have my fabrics in a grab bag and am pulling them out semi-randomly to decide which goes next. Fun times! Also cutting them irregular lengths so it's more interesting. Note that this placement of long strips may not stay, it's just what I've got so far. That's why they're not sewn together yet.
