Playing with scraps is so fun and so very messy!! My winter plans are to work with orange and neutral/tan/beige strings/scraps. I previously had used some for string blocks(now in storage for a bit). The basket on the left were ones I had used in the string blocks and will keep them separated for a while longer. Somehow as I look at the neutral container of strings it looks much fuller than this photo shows, I guess a bit of fluffing has occurred!
The center orange square is a 2.5" square. Add neutral strips to each side and trim, and then a round of orange strips and trim and repeat.
I am using the Creative Grids Pineapple trim tool. Not affiliated, just love the ruler.
Here is one block all pieced and trimmed up. I have been doing five blocks at a time and sewing slowly as I am still trying to get over a cold, it's been over a week and I am tired of it! Next week we are supposed to go out boondocking/atving and attending a powered parachute gathering. So I need to get better ASAP!
Here are 10 blocks. At this time I am thinking I will sash them with neutral strips and perhaps a dark brown cornerstone. For now I will make a few blocks here and there as there is no hurry for this one.
