Hey ladies, I am looking for strip Quilting ideas and patterns.
Would like to make a headboard piece to hang above my guest room bed.

That is the only quilts I have made. They are quick and fun to do. I did the trip around the world pattern.

I've made one quilt with 'jelly rolls' and that was fun. I didn't find any free jelly roll patterns on the internet though. There are some great books and patterns out that use jelly rolls--rolls of 2.5" strips, usually about 40 different fabric to a roll.

There's a great book out (actually a couple) for "toppers". I can't recall the exact name but if you Amazon search quilt and topper they will come up. Super easy and some use strips/charms/jellies etc. and are so stunning! *~* Marcia's suggestions are lovely! Makes me want to sew!

Elenore Burns from Quilt in a Day has some great "Stipping" books. Maybe your library has some you can borrow. I believe that the Quilt in a Day website also offers a few free ones.

Although no one can go back and make a brand new start; anyone can start from now
and make a brand new end.

The Quilt in a Day series is all (I think)strip quilting.

Cheryl,
Try http://www.quiltville.com/ there are lots of free patterns there. Almost all are done with strips or strings.
