The new year is starting off with a bang.
I'm still working on finishing up things from
last year and since my goal this year is to sew up
strips and strings, I'm working on strips and strings.
I'm trying to whittle down my box of leftovers and
bits of blocks and quilt.
There are an assortment of squares made of strings and strips.
The next step is planning out what to make with them.
I took some figuring, but I have 2 good size
twin quilts planned and it should use up
some good bunches of strips.
The first plan is utilizing twelve and a half inch
cut blocks out of color family strips.
There are some red, purple and blue
in the scrap box.
So I decided to make full length strip sets
divided a vertical zinger.
I made fairly good progress on the
blue the first day of stitching.
Let's see how far I get with this plan.
The next evening really turned up the
strips. I found more blue already
pieced so I was able to string all
the columns together.
and the log cabin top is peaking thru!
A few colors are hanging out looking
for a spot to participate.
An old favorite was chosen and
here is the result!
All are waiting for a layer and quilting!
Happy new year and happy stitching !

Your quilt rack is full to bursting with tops! Plenty of choice when you get on with the next step of quilting.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, the table is almost empty so it is getting toward , layering time!
DeleteGreat scrappy quilt!
ReplyDeleteThank you , more to come, there are scraps everywhere!
DeleteOh boy, such fun with strings! Loving the blue string top and look forward to seeing what you do with the other color blocks. I had finished a string top last year and then made a "project pivot" to utilize some scrappy blocks I was working on. The plan now is to add them to a design that has string units in it. Seeing what you have here, I think I need to pull out the instructions for that so I can do some leader/ender sewing of the strings and get that second project underway.
ReplyDeleteIt is always fun to add another project to the mix!
DeleteI love your strips and strings plans! Your blue blocks are lovely, and the red sashings is the perfect fit. Great quilt ladder ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing!
On with the scraps!! Happy Quilting!
DeleteLove the idea of getting finished with the leftovers. String quilts are so cool. Have you heard of Evelyn Sloppy? I started one of her patterns using strings. I should try to find it. I was new to quilting and was a bit overwhelmed at the time.
ReplyDeleteHopefully , I can get lots of strings sew up this year! It is good to have a goal but I won't let it keep me from starting other projects!
DeleteLove your blue scrap quilt. You have a great plan for the year and I'm thinking you are going to finish a ton of quilts! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
