TWOSIES = FOURSIES

Hello again from your long lost quilter...(LOL)

I have been quite ill trying to kick off this infection and so haven't made

a whole lot of progress on my Gypsy Wannabe.

I finally got the twosie strips into foursies this afternoon and was

thrilled to be able to sew without that hacking cough sound in the background!!

So not a whole lot of progress to show you;

but am happy how this semi-coordinated scrappy quilt is coming together...

I was able to use scraps and cut off pieces

from the entire jelly roll and so most of it will have been used up!!

Astonishing, for me!! 

This is way too big for me to photograph in its entirety

(Didn't I just finish saying "No more big quilt"???) so...

as soon as it reaches flimsy stage I will hang it somewhere and

get a pix for you...

Do you do totally scrappy--like I usually do--or try

this idea of a jelly roll or whatever that is definitely coordinated and

use it in a "Scrappy Style"??

So far, I am loving this quilt...and sewing it is

so easy..

Here is the lower right hand side--you can see those little squares and cutoff

pieces...I did add the same pointsetta fabric, Christmas lilies 

 and the reindeer  B&W prints from my stash

(not in the jelly roll ) --

as additional sparks of

Christmas Cheer..

(I will be hand big stitch quilting this BIG baby so am

pressing all seams open to ease my needling....)

On that happy note I will retire to my afternoon necessary nap...

hugs to all,

MY GYPSY WANNABE

Here is my strippy piece now named

MY GYPSY WANNABE

(sorry for the blur--I cannot fit the entire piece in...)

Here is a filler block as I didn't have enough of that lovely lily fabric...which

is a 10.5" horizontal strip breaking up the long strips on the top 

from the lower lengths.......

I am setting out the bottom strips & as you can see

some are too long and some are too short

SO........

Using my new golden rule:

"If it's too long--cut it off and

If it's too short--add to it!!"

I will cut off the longer ones and add those pieces to the shorter strips along

with some filler 2.5" squares....

AND THAT'S WHAT I DID TODAY

ON "FORWARDER FRIDAY"

:--)))

Tomorrow is: "If it's Saturday it's Scrapbooking" for me..

I will be scrapbooking pictures of our visit (belated Valentine's celebration)

to Jeff and Lin's this past Wednesday....
