SCRAPPY "WINGED STRINGS", et al

 

Since I've been away from sewing,

I've been sorting by color what is

left in my stash...

AND at the same time--

haunting Youtube,

watching sewing

videos...

for some inspiration...

I saw a gorgeous block on 

Beth's "My Sewing Room"

YOUTUBE video tutorial

and I knew I just had to 

try one:

But first things first--

I have to confess that I've never been

really good a squaring up 1/2 square

triangles...nope--just could not get my head

around the ruler--

😕😖😗

Yesterday I finally, finally

[gosh, after ALL these years]

figured it out and decided to use my 

blues-ey scraps to make this block.

Here it is laid out ready to be sewn

I must admit it took me a while to

figure out that layout--went

back and forth from Beth's video

for sure...;)))

And

TAH-DAH

Here it is together:

I really L💙VE it!!

Thank you Beth for the great

inspiration and tutorial

💙😇

Here is a photo of her block:

So pretty...

I am calling mine

 "Winged Strings"

I will be making a few more

*************************

It is such a beautiful, sunny day

today; I plan to sit outside and

read and relax...

Tonight will be bbq'ed cheeseburgers,

on toasted bread, with

tater tots [and broccoli for me].

Fall is just around the corner--

time to take out my 

Autumn table toppers

and such...

I was hoping to have Autumn Stars

quilted and ready to hang--but it will

have to wait until next year...
