 I finished my 
String Thing Block Swap quilt (boy -- that was a mouthfull).  The blocks became a border for a piece of fabric that have not been able to cut.  I also got to use cowhide fabric that I love and the row of fussy cut blocks are some that were suppose to be in a Round Robin that just couldn't quit make it.  All in all, I think it turned out pretty good.  The is a quilt that I just  put together my own thing--I had no pattern.  I always get so confused when I am sewing strips/blocks together to be a certain size.  I think I have finally settled on the concept ----add the widths in actual size and THEN add the seam allowances.  I know that, but sometimes those seam allowances just sneak righ in there.  Oh well, I only unsewed a little (ALOT).  I am glad it is done.  Only one disappointing thing here.  I cannot mark this off my "list" as I did not have it on my list.  I think I will put it on so I can mark it off.  Yes, I am Wacky!!  But then you knew that already. DGS, Caden, will get this quilt when he gets a twin bed. 

 One more block done for Lynette's 
Noah's Ark BOM.  (See button on sidebar.)  Next is Kangaroos.  They are precious.  You will see them here soon.
 
I have never seen the strips used as a border design...I love it so much! It really gives this quilt, in particular, a very rustic look. Great Job. I also like how your coming along on the Noah blocks. I would do something like that too, but I would be as old as Noah was by the time I finished that project! Happy Stitching...

The string blocks made a great border!!
ReplyDeleteMolly, I love your strip quilt. Using the blocks as a border was a great idea.
