First sew day of the year and
wowzer! Got nothing on my
list done!!! I was clearing off
my cozy sew space and saw the
half square triangle pieces
and couldn't resist. I made them
into 19 blocks!
Then next morning, still getting
ready , I was moving baskets of
strips intended for a Big Strings
and couldn't resist!
Most of the strings were ready so that
was a big time saver. I only had a bit of
trimming and cutting to do.
The end of sew day found me
just 20" away from having enough rows
for a nice large queen size string
quilt! Woot Woot!
This top will go into the vault for a quick
completion if we go back into the
deep freeze, weather wise!
It is actually only -22 today
so a brisk morning walk was lovely.
I did have a load of cut offs from
the strings to deal with .
The side effect of scrap quilting is,
oddly enough, more scraps!
A quick sort into color and lengths
make this heap manageable.
They can be sewn up into sections
for borders or a small top. Maybe even
another set for one of my family-to-be friends!
Lots to do ! Stay safe and sew on!

I can picture your enjoyment of all those scraps in your cozy space. I cannot picture anyone walking in -22 degrees though; good choice to go back inside! Happy New Year too.
ReplyDeleteI think we just get used to it!!! I do have fun with those scraps . Between my frugal nature and feeling like I'm getting presents every time I open a bag of scraps, scrapping
ReplyDeletemakes me very happy! Stay safe and sew on !
Looks like you were having a lot of fun! Way to use up those scraps! I kind of have a rule about my scraps: if I get one more usage out of it, I'm allowed (and encouraged) to toss it, guilt-free! (Of course, if it's something I love or know I'll need, I won't.)
ReplyDeleteFun how little scraps become blocks and soon after, quilts! Love watching the process. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteScrappy fun? Resistance is futile, Deb!!
