I've often admired strip quits but am yet to make one. I had wondered why not sew straight onto squares of white fabric instead of paper. White fabric isn't very expensive and it would add durability and strength and be less mess/time consuming. I did a little research and found that originally strip quilts were sewn onto squares of old bed sheets for exactly the reasons i had thought out. If ever I make one I plan to sew straight onto some Kona white.
Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. It's lovely to "meet" you.
