GREENS-GOING GOING--GONE

                                                    My empty greens baggie...now all that's
                                        left are those tiny bits all sewn
                                            into "at least "twosies" for
                                              a future "scrap vomit" quilt...

                              these are really tiny...but I loved sewing
                                them all together chain style....
My plan was to use up ALL the bright greens this month....

*************************************************
I need to take a few minutes here and there to iron them; and
then maybe sew them into a few pieces like these:
                                    for a future crumb block piece...

I also found this larger leftover piece that I will store with them ....
I used up the rest of the little square border chains to surround this....
For the most part, I am done with the "sewin' of the greens" here....

**************************************************
This is what I am sewing this week--I am only sitting at my machine for
very short spurts...glad to be able to sew again....at least a little

I have always loved chevrons, but was so fearful of 
making 1/2 sq triangles  (don't ask me why!) 
that I never tried them...and now I am smitten....💖💓💖💝
I began with some leftover layer cake squares...and these haven't 
been trimmed up as yet...just sewn...
***************************************
                      and here⇓⇓⇓⇓
I DREW all THREE lines and just sewed on the lines....yes!! ;)))

Today i will be making some green ones...
It seems very elementary doesn't it, 
but I had never thought about drawing sewing lines
before...duh...💃😂🙏
***************************************
We did see the sun for a bit today, but now the clouds are coming
in once more...I really think that this January has been the
grayest month in a long while...;(((

  7. An empty scrap bag? That's almost unheard of. Your method of drawing the lines will make relaxing mindless sewing so things should move right along. Nice

  8. HSTs are quick and easy to make. But you don't need to draw three lines, just one in the middle and then just line up with your presser foot.

  9. Wow - I'm beyond impressed to see that empty bag! Good for you! And 'scrap vomit' make me laugh.
