SCRAPPY "WINGED STRINGS", et al

 

Since I've been away from sewing,
I've been sorting by color what is
left in my stash...

AND at the same time--
haunting Youtube,
watching sewing
videos...
for some inspiration...

I saw a gorgeous block on 
Beth's "My Sewing Room"
YOUTUBE video tutorial
and I knew I just had to 
try one:

But first things first--
I have to confess that I've never been
really good a squaring up 1/2 square
triangles...nope--just could not get my head
around the ruler--
😕😖😗
Yesterday I finally, finally
[gosh, after ALL these years]
figured it out and decided to use my 
blues-ey scraps to make this block.

Here it is laid out ready to be sewn
I must admit it took me a while to
figure out that layout--went
back and forth from Beth's video
for sure...;)))

And
TAH-DAH
Here it is together:
I really L💙VE it!!

Thank you Beth for the great
inspiration and tutorial
💙😇
Here is a photo of her block:
So pretty...

I am calling mine
 "Winged Strings"
I will be making a few more
S  L  O  W  L  Y....
*************************
It is such a beautiful, sunny day
today; I plan to sit outside and
read and relax...

Tonight will be bbq'ed cheeseburgers,
on toasted bread, with
tater tots [and broccoli for me].

Fall is just around the corner--
time to take out my 
Autumn table toppers
and such...
I was hoping to have Autumn Stars
quilted and ready to hang--but it will
have to wait until next year...
