LEFTOVERS

Remember this string star piece.....

Well, I have quite a few squares leftover....and in keeping with my "finish it up"
mode I am working on this piece.....

I sewed 12 little blocks together for a table runner...but it is not really big enough
as it stands here.....

SO.....
I am making some string strips for the borders....using:

these leftover strings....from the star quilting project...(I always seem to make many 
more than I end up using  )

and I've finished one strip (in two 20 minute sessions yesterday) ;)))

I have been hoarding  uhhh saving these special little pieces....

Little art prints...

Using leftovers and some French script fabrics
to piece this long string strip for either side...

I am figuring that since the original "ojo di dios" blocks are made on muslin, I want the borders to also be the same weight...and so, these strips--

And since the center block is light and the rest are darkish, I am making the strips light on either side and will do dark top borders...

I really love strip quilting and am going to be trying to use leftover strips for a while as my method of choice....
**********************************************
This idea came to me during an afternoon nap- (say what?)
-I often fall asleep thinking about my projects...what is it they say?

 "Sleep on it"...works for me!!;)))

That's the story around here....
