Found this site and there is a pattern for a bargello quilt using our diet noodles! It uses 128 diet noodles yes that is 2 1/2 inches by 16. If you really want to make a BIG quilt you would need 360 strips. KC we got a lot of exchanging to do LOL. I think this is awesome....RN55

Only 16 more minutes until it is October 6th, but for anyone that is hanging around that wants to join in on the next diet noodle swap you have a little time left to sign up .
Here's the link to KC's thread for the swap. She is a super-swappin' mama .
If you miss out this time, stay tuned for the next swap that she hosts . . . you don't want to miss out!
I've used a similar method to make 2 Trip Around the World quilts. A helpful tip (which I didn't know about while making my quilts!) is: use a short stitch length when sewing the strips together. Then when you do the sub-cuts you won't have seams parting company! AMHIK!!!!! LOLThis message has been edited. Last edited by: bluesnail,

I like the big one also...it figures that is a lot of diet noodles but with the wonderful swap KC is hosting I have a good start and with this next one I should be well on my way to the big one. Is that good or bad? wow lots of pieces!
