Things are heating up with the sew along and
the end is just around the corner.
Step 8 is finally finished, and wow,
there were a lot of pieces to do!
Brown half squares were added to each
corner of the9 1/2" beige units.
The cutoffs were used to make small hourglass units.
This process didn't use up all the cutoffs!
There were still bunches of cutoffs to deal with.
I sewed them up into the half squares
before they were cut off of the parent piece.
There is about 1/2" distance between the seams.
This just seems a little easier to me
and keeps the pieces out of the scrap bag.
Now I have a goodly stacks of half squares
to do with as I will.
You'll notice there are two different sizes.
Sometimes my stitch width isn't as accurate as I would like.
"No scrap left behind",
so I cut 2 1/2" as well as 2"inch squares
out of the bonus half squares.
There's actually an unfinished top behind me,
that could really use some half squares
to finish up another block.
So that is Step 8 of
I'll get to work on steps 9 and 10 and keep you posted.
If anyone is wondering about that race I was in last week,
Look at this!
I won! 25 string blocks in two hours!
Stay safe and sew on.
