Remember me?????
I've been in "time out" for a long time....
a while and I am now reconsidering.....
and
I have decided to
leave it as is and use
the leftover strips to make blocks for the
back:
↓↓↓↓
Here is my first effort:
I've always wanted to try out Bonnie Hunter's
"Many Trips Around the World" tutorial....
And, I have enough strips to make four
big blocks to use on the back.
This was my first trial block to see if I like
making these...
and I do....😍😇😊
Easy strip sewing is
so relaxing...and refreshing.
It seems to be taking me
out of my slump....
;))))
But....
I find that
getting the strip tube
even on both ends is
the most difficult part...
I am using 8 strips across and they are not
really all 21" long, so the ends are rather
ragged..
BUT...luckily---
So far, I have enough to cut
8 little 2.5" tubes
of squares...
I began the 2nd block this morning...
it is now at the "ribbit" part
🐸🐸🐸🐸
:))))
😉😁😂
doggie which will cascade down the center
from the top left corner...
What fun;)))
AND
I have the other two set of strips ready
to be sewn together
I had mostly gray strips left and used them to
alternate between the other more interesting
Sherbet Pip strips...
I also still have all the lovely extras that
Rose gifted me....
so i can either make borders or use
them to fill in as needed....
Since I have 4 more jelly rolls waiting in the wings
I think one, at least will be put together in
this fashion....
***********************
Other than fighting off a head cold, this
is how i have been spending my time after
machine quilting 8 "Littles" that are now
all waiting for me to make bindings for them...
👿👾👽
[Not my favorite part]
*********************************
The big rain storms moved to our North
once again and we ended up with
.67" of rain here...good as we are still
in drought conditions and this will
help if only a little bit....
I hope you fared well during the storms...
Hugs, Julierose,
