It is time to get back in the groove and
get some stitching organized. Zoom meeting
tonight so lots of time to stitch.
Remember that big bag project?
Well, it is full of string blocks of varing sizes
that really need a purpose. So....
Out they all come to get and
measured up.
There are 7 sizes.
Most are 8 1/2" (18) and 6 1/2" (27).
The 18 8 1/2" can go together to make a 32" x 32" top.
Three more can be made from the oversized blocks,
bringh the top up to 32" x 42" .
The 27 6 1/2" will make a 5 x 5 block top.
Three more of the larger blocks will get a trim down
and enlarge it to a 5 x 6 block top.
The binding bin was pulled out
to add some sashing and
a long piece of black was put into service.
The sashing will add interest and
divide the quilt into sections.
Quartets of blocks will point inward and
the remaining blocks will zigzag across the quilt.
The top from the 6 1/2" blocks will get dark green sashing.
It looks quite dark in the pictures
but it is a nice dark green
Now they are all boxed up and ready to go off to retreat!
