Lots of things to do but the most pressing
is the Rainbow Triangle Strings I need
for a wedding next month.
Since I have a whole set of extra blocks
pinned to the complete top sections, some
quick sewing is needed to get both projects moving.
here is the top, so here we go!!!
Label, unpin, stack and stitch!
Row one done and now only twelve more to go.
There is some strange power in the universe and
I always end up with extra blocks for this pattern!
This is my own fault too, because I change a
feature colour or placement. That cascades into
a few blocks being excess. So.. with these two tops
I consolidated the extra blocks as I was sewing and split
them in half to make the needed blocks. All in all I only ended
up with one extra blue and pink block!! Yay me!
Almost done!
The work table is empty. I cleared it off when family
was coming so they think I am more tidy than I am!
Recently I purchased 2 rolls of batting so I am all set
to layer and quilt these two tops as soon as they are stitched!
We will all find out if I can keep my focus that long!
Wish me luck. I do work well with a deadline!!
Here are the tops completed midafternoon.
I had a lovely 32 degree photo shoot!
No change in stash numbers but look at
those finished tops!

String blocks make such pretty quilts. Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you , they are fun to do!
DeleteI have a ton of browns. That would be a great use for them. Thanks Deb.
ReplyDeleteThat would be a great way to use them up and the browns would be beautiful!
DeleteYour quilts are so pretty with the strings!
ReplyDeleteThe colors really sing with the white middles.
DeleteYour quilts always look so bright and cheery. Great finish.
ReplyDeleteThank you ! I think I may have more homes for them than quilts again, better get stitching!
DeleteThey are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Everyone should make a few !
DeleteThese are always so lovely once you get them together. Kudos on only having one extra block! That took some major organization I'm thinking. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I think having the first top as a pattern and guideline really helped by giving me a place to physically line up the blocks!! Happy stitching!
DeleteThanks so much for participating and sharing at SSPS 320 and sharing our link to show your readers where you hang out. See you again next week at #321 https://esmesalon.com/tag/seniorsalonpitstop/
ReplyDeleteWill do! The site is a lot of fun!
DeleteBeautiful tops! I always forget how long it takes to assemble a set of quilt blocks. It always takes longer and more effort than I remember.
ReplyDeleteLike Childbirth, we tend to forget the hard parts when the end result is so rewarding!
DeleteOhhh I like them - I can see how your brain would be on overload with your design wall - but! Wow - they come out great!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tops! You did really great with all these blocks 😀. Fabulous quilts on the go!
