Isn't that a messy sewing space?
It's how I roll, it simply means I'm busy with my nose to the needle, my foot to the pedal!
I'm still working away on my string blocks; when I stopped to cut some of them out, I saw that I have more than enough of the dark blocks since each star only needs 4...
I have fewer of the all light and the light/dark mixture though.
So those are the ones I'll work on til I have enough for whatever size quilt I want to make!
Actually the GO die works really well for cutting these blocks - it's accurate and quick. I can only do one at a time but it's still quicker than cutting with a ruler.
And as a bonus, I thought of a way to use more of that 6-1/2" size - slice a block across at the diagonal and you have an instant roof!
My goal here is to move as many of those strings and strips, as quickly as I can, and this will do it for me.
Meanwhile, I'll keep my nose to the needle in my messy work area til I know it's enough ...
Sew forth and sew on til later!
My Sunday is going to be chaining some string blocks thru the machine - something that doesn't take too much thought and will help to tame that tote of strings. Love the idea of the house roof.
ReplyDeleteSo do you cut them all the same width? The one and only one I've made they were all the same width. I'm trying to save up all my scaps to make something. ;o/
