My 1st "lego-style" block.
I used leftover 1.5" strips
sewed end to end to end--
[ad infinitum!!]
cutting as I went.
Yesterday I took the long strips and
precut them randomly into smaller
sections...
This enabled me, this morning, to
just sew 2 by 2 and then 4 by 4 --
adding bits that I needed to
reach 11" +/- in length...
Since I want my blocks to be 10.5"
(unfinished) I am sewing my strips
about 11" to be trimmed up
as needed...
And,
I will be cutting more strips to
add to the ones on hand now...
I will call this "ARASHI"
the Japanese word for
grey or stormy.
****************************
Up on the other end of my design wall
are the "Melange" blocks being
sewn together bit by bit...
[Thanks Cathy for your encouraging words]
💕
set horizontally rather than
the usual vertical layout...
This will be a nice little lap quilt--
I may have to make
another and gift them to
les grandgirls!!
:))))
********************
And so much for not starting
any new projects,
Uh--nope!!
But, [I rationalize],
I am doing the coins and the
Autumn Ojos which are
UFOs, too...
Sewing together slowly...
and
Ojos only has three
blocks left to hand quilt.

Today was a wind-lashed rainy day
for us here...
also
Tom and I both
got our Covid Booster and flu shots!
So far no reactions...
DONE
:))))
