NOW WHAT?....LEGOS QUESTIONS...

 

I have 6 "slabs" made....

on my Lego journey...

(click images to enlarge)

The 1st two on the left are a bit

"bowed" as I didn't do any ironing

until the very end.

The next four I ironed 

EVERY

SINGLE 

seam as I sewed them

together--

and 

alternated the starting

point every few strips-

This gave me much better results...

;)))))

Now what??????????

So many ways to go....

End to end for a long table runner;

butted together as is; butted

together horizontal to vertical....

sashed????

etc etc...

And/or,,,,,

Should I make more????

My thinking is that I need, at the

very least,

 three more...

That would mean cutting

more 1.5" strips...

Here are some close ups of

cute little images:

Cute lady and dove

This little birdie and mushroom 

fabric: a leftover from 

you, Lizzy

Roses and houses

Older coffee-dyed Pear images...

Any Thoughts 

Anyone????

I leave you with this lovely image of my burgeoning hydrangea...

STRIP [SLIDIN' AWAY], et al

 

I've been [ ever so] slowly 

sewing strips 

and then

cutting into 2.5" sets--

to make us some new

placemats....

I had a jelly roll left over with

blues, purples, and greens...

These are now all layered up 

and ready to pin baste before 

I machine quilt them...

(Did you notice the title--???

"Strip" instead of

 "Slip" hahaha--

apologies to Paul Simon)

AND...

L👀👀K

what decided to bloom for me:

My lovely hydrangea just below 

the end of our back deck; 

I think it is so pretty:)))

How can you not fall in love with this?????

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

I have also begun to sew a few 

"Lego" strips; 

I decided not to precut lengths

but rather to "cut as i go"

that gives me a lot of random

lengths that I like..

 I am not sewing them into blocks

yet, but waiting until I have a lot

to choose from ...

And then again, I may just sew longer

strips for a dining room table topper...

Right now they measure

 from 14.5" the shortest--

 to 15.5" - 16"..

I am finding this such fun

😂😃😄😁😆

 and

so easy...;)))

I can sit for 10 minutes

 here and there and 

get a strip done from my 

1.5" strips and cut offs...

Here is my set up to the left of Helga;

VERY loosely sorted into colors and

lengths.

The strips I've finished are folded in half

and stored in this little white basket

in front...

I am trying to make sure that there are enough

light-lights and dark-darks...

I also have some left over 1.5" squares in

that little blue container (top left)..

So, I can sit down and turn

on my Pandora and just sew away

😉😍

Stay cool these hot and humid 

August days...
