I've started putting together the ladder blocks for the Texas Tumbleweeds quilt I started on the November Caribbean cruise with Bonnie Hunter.
These go together fast if the units are ready and waiting to sew - hat's off to Bonnie's method of making quilts that have lots of pieces and parts!
And because it's not a race or under a deadline - and also because I was tripping over my bag-o-strings - I made a few more of the string-y log cabin blocks.
I used a 12-1/2" square ruler to trim these up, simply because it was a ruler I had. That very middle starting piece was made from 'bonus triangle' trimmings.
What freedom to just sew strips without looking out for a strict quarter inch seam - I love em!
That's it for now; do something that makes you (or someone else) feel great today - sew forth and sew on til later!
Both piles of blocks bring a smile to my face - especially those logs!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the Texas Tumbleweeds together. I agree, those logs make me smile.
ReplyDeletePlaying with strings is so delightful and I love the freedom that comes from playing. You've got a great selection of lights but I LOVE that fabric with the hot pink and green snails. From the look on that green snail's face you know there's got to be a story there.
ReplyDeleteBlocks look great!
