Neutral strings

Once upon a time, long, long ago in a sewing room quite near, a second neutral string quilt was started.  The blocks were all sewn to phone book pages and then stacked neatly and left to rest on a shelf. The plan was to make it like the first one that was started in 2014 and finished in 2016.



Fast forward to earlier this week and I have neutral blocks go from UFO stage to flimsy stage.  The design for this string quilt came from Cynthia at Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework. Neutral strings will no go back into the closet until I decide to quilt it. Right now I am more in the mood for piecing so I shall continue. The brown sashing was cut at 2". 


So many of you loved seeing our gorgeous pink peony a week ago, more blooms have opened. Here is how it looked two days ago right before the rain knocked them over. 


I love reading your comments and will now reply to them right here on the blog instead of in personal emails. I appreciate each and every comment!
