A very wet week here!
What a wonderful time to
put the worries behind and escape
to the sewing room!!
Great progress is happening on
my big string collection.
I can't wait to show this first top complete!
I have enough center, colored blocks for
3 more tops, cream corners for 2 and
1/2 square white and color for 1 top.
The best thing happening are the
crumb borders.
They are real scrap
busters. The beige/white borders
enhance the contrast and
definition between the scrap stars and crumb border.
My big bin of white/cream
bits is really shrinking! I don't think
I will refill this bin with scraps although it
is a great storage unit. Maybe a good place
for folded fat quarters and chunks.
Another project for this rainy day is the
Triangle string quilt. Lots of purple
strings were added to existing half color blocks.
Still lots more to do since
this quilt take 132 blocks to get it up
to a finished 83" x 90".
I check off the blocks complete on this
weird little pattern. I put it in a plastic sleeve
so it can be reused for making baby quilts or
shared with friends.
This is one of my go-to
quilt blocks as you know from A Colorful Couple.
Hopefully, this one will make it to my bed !
Often this one get pressed into wedding quilt
gifts as the recipients always love the bright colors.
It is almost time to remove my temporary work space!
It is made up of cases of drinks for an upcoming,
much delayed and anticipated wedding celebration!
I'd better move out all my block parts.
Stay safe and sew on !
