I have been coming along with my little blue strippies. At least these pieces are 3 1/2" (but finish at 3").
These are really fun to make...and I have made 72 easily before feeling the need to switch to something different. Here are my blue strippies:
In the pic they are not yet trimmed but now they are. I am in the process of removing the paper foundations also.
Now I can go back and finish last week's step. I had about 3/4 of the first week's units finished when putting on Thanksgiving Day dinner for 15 relatives and friends slowed me down, quilting-wise.
You know, it's funny, I have been working on some little crumb blocks that remind me of these blue strippies.
The crumb units are also 3 1/2" unfinished and I used 4 to each block. These were made for my Doctor Who quilt. It is sashed and bordered in TARDIS blue. As soon as I get it bound and photographed I will share it with you.
Many thanks to Bonnie for her Orca Bay Mystery Quilt
Aren't those string blocks fun to make? I could have kept sewing!
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done with sashing your crumb blocks, I have a lot of them pieced and waiting for just the right project. I do these when I don't want to think too hard!
String blocks finished and the QSTs nearly there. You'll soon be itching to see clue 3! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteYour blocks are very cute, love the plaids, and the crumb blocks are awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe variety in string blocks is just wonderful - yours look great.
