String Blocks

Back in the fall I picked up a packet from my guild's Charity Coordinator
for strip pieced blocks…...

Looking to do a little "mindless" sewing this past weekend….
thought this would be perfect,
so after going through all my scraps 
I decided on Green!

Cutting up some of my green stash and scraps into 1 to 2 inches strips
then I found a great Laurel Burch fabric
and had enough to use in the center of each block!


sewing and sewing and sewing…
making 30 of these babies!


squared them all up to 5 1/2 inches..
then read the directions … 'Don't square up your blocks'
OOPS!!


but I just had to see how they looked!!!


PRETTY!!!

SO since the directions were thrown out the window at this point!

I figure I'll just go ahead and make a little quilt top
instead of just a few blocks!

I'm thinking this is how it will end up!


Should be able to finish it up by next guild meeting!!
