I Got Distracted

 The string fling sew along is almost

to the last step. However, I got distracted and 

dug into my UFOs. The 8s and 10s were calling me,

and after I finished a twin size top,

I moved on to the blocks from the string block race.

Those were finished up,

and all the strip lengths were replenished. 

A few narrow strips might have snuck into

some of the sections, but they will still 

fit nicely together to make blocks.

The project will be easy to carry to

my weekly stitching group.

One visit to the stitching group produced more partial blocks,

so I went on to finish those up,

trim them and remove the papers from everything.

Now I have 51 string blocks.

After a visit to my daughter,

I realized they're using a queen size quilt on a king size bed.

So.... I took the rest of the 8s and 10s blocks,

and put them together to form nine rows of nine blocks.

This should make a nice 90" by 90",

which I'm advised will be perfect for their bed!

There is still some room on my quilt card 

so I can send it off to get  a nice overall pattern. 

One holiday gift sorted!

I have more leftovers!

Twenty one more of these will make a twin

so more stitching ahead!

Sorting out my big  Bernina,

 finalizing some guild program plans,

and getting ready for a family sleepover 

should still allow me to stitch in

some more sewing this week.

Maybe I could work on the sew along top!

Stay safe and sew on !
