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...;(((

FINISHIN' O' THE GREENS

                                                   Green Monsta' is all together now...
Waiting for borders......
I have a few scraps leftover, but since I haven't been able to sew for
a week with my sore shoulder/arm problem they have been just
sitting there....;000





Not too many left
I may sew them two by two
and put them away toward a
scrappy piece later...





               I was all set up to make some more, but.....instead
am waiting S * I* G * H*.....
Hooking up with Angela at [click to see all of our bright,
light green projects for January] 
This is the last week to finish up...I am hoping to be able to 
get back to sewing on Monday.....at least for little bits of time...
************************
And, of course the other "monstah" waiting around is ;000
Franken Quilt"; all ready to be hand quilted (sighing again).

I hope you are enjoying your Saturday sewing 
Rainy day hugs from Julierose, La Blageuse (waiting-euse)
