Good for you, Lois, in finding something to use your already cut out strips! That's awesome!!! The design reminds me of something, but I can't think right now what it is. Hmmm, maybe a Walkingstick? You are so precise you won't have any trouble with curves.

I'm always working on UFOs.....at least in my mind, but I have an idea I want to try and see if it looks half-way decent. An Easter Egg Tree using a Shoo-Fly block. I have the strips cut out but non sewn together yet. :-)

Those are nice! Way to use up those bits. I have decided the way to use up all of mine are to use them as packing material when I send stuff to GrammyP and to hide them in Sharon's luggage at retreat. :) I tried making string quilts and the tub seems to get more and more full every time I make a quilt. I think there might be about 100 queen size string quilts in that tub!

One of my resolutions was to get back to the machine.

i pulled out my binder of ’someday’ quilts and picked a couple to think about. Yesterday, I tried a couple of sample blocks. Boy, am I rusty! I forgot how to sew a 1/4” seam.

Today was a little better. It is a scrappy quilt ( surprise) but starts with ten inch squares, rather than strips. I hope to get more units done tomorrow.

Great scrappy pattern. I know what you mean about those string quilts Jackie. They multiply like rabbits.

I was just looking at a strip pattern similar to yours, Lois. Like I need to start another top, lol. The second set of blocks look interesting. What is the name of that pattern?

What a great pattern for those little pieces. I did recently complete a quilt for a friend. I thought I had taken a picture, but it's not on my computer. Next time I am at her house, I'll get a shot. Right now i am working on another comfort quilt for a friend, but I haven't been very inspired. I so rarely buy fabric, but I did for this quilt. Her surgery has been postponed several times and she is very nervous. It's a 4-5 hour surgery beginning of Feb. I need to get sewing!

Just finished this baby quilt fron the leftover hot from the pineapple quilt I worked on at the retreat.  I enjoyed putting the pinwheels together.

Oooh, that is a really unique design. I can't wait to see the results!

Lois, those are beautiful. Love the Tidal Pool pattern.

Lois, are you also enjoying the hosta alphabet? Nice quilts, as always.

Bkay, i haven’t checked in on the hosta forum in a while. I’ll have to do that. Thanks for the reminder.
