I found this lovely gray/silvery fabric in my Holiday
Stash box for backing
I had just enough for 6 of my Christmas Rosettes...
this one is appliqued and.........
this one also, and.....
Finally this one.....
I have 3 left to pull papers off, and then sew down....
I am thinking of alternating them with plain dark gray blocks to make
the length I need for a long dining room table runner...[This time
I will leave the center block unadorned to put holiday flowers on,
leaving the others in view]
***************************************
Here are the 4 larger pink/mauve string blocks, and one each of:
yellows/golds,
blues,
and purples,
all from leftover strings.
This is beginning to look like the start of a
rainbow string quilt in progress...
I hadn't had this in mind, but I think
after sewing them together into blocks,
I will box them and go for it as I amass other missing colors...
The Desert Ojos here: ↓↓↓
{Sewn together into blocks (top left)}
are the smaller size Ojos and will be
used for still another project...
I will admit (confession time!!) I STILL have strings left to use up--
I frankly got tired of making them for a bit, but have plenty of
smaller sizes to make more yellow blocks....
aiming for four of each colorway...
***********************************************
Here are the last four (of 8 in total) Maverick Stars
set up to be sewn.

Today is a rest day for my shoulders etc...
so, I am reading on my Kindle
and doing various household chores...
"Mud, Muck and Dead Things" by Ann Granger is the book
holding my interest right now;she is one of my favorite authors...
Hugs on this gray Monday-- with rain approaching once again...
