Here is what I am working on now.
I made the 'string' blocks while on vacation in Illinois last month.
Last night I added the black sashes. I saw something similar on Bonnie Hunters blog....she used 9-patch blocks where I used the string pieced blocks. Bonnie called hers 'dancing nine patch'. I liked the way this unusual sashing arrangement made the blocks 'sashay' around the quilt. I will be making more blocks, right now it is only 24 blocks and measures about 32 inches by 48 inches and I would like to make it bigger. So I will be piecing more
string pieced blocks.
I have a pair of socks that need the toes finished for the Mr. 8-) I want them done in time for him to wear them for deer hunting and that starts Nov. 15. Needles will be clicking around here. There is another pair that I would like to have ready for him to wear ice fishing, too. It will probably be Jan. before we have ice on the lake, so that gives me a little more time. 8-)
till next time.....
