Working extra hours cut deep into my sewing time this week, but I managed to end my Friday afternoon with some stitching.
String blocks are part of my RSC plans again this year, but I decided to do something a little different from last year’s rainbow strings. I’m putting 4 blocks together like this for each color. The individual quarters are squared up to 9.5”, so the 4 together make an 18” finished block.
One yellow Wisdom block is joined by a pink one and a green one. I have 25 of these now in the set so I’m close to having enough. I also have a second set of these going that I’m making from a layer cake. Those will be a separate project.
The whole weekend is predicted to be bitter cold with highs in the single digits, and I’m hoping that means I get to spend lots of time sewing. Add these yellow blocks to what I made at the beginning of the week, and I have a great start on the RSC blocks for this month.
The black strips make the other colors “pop.” They will make a stunning quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty yellow blocks. Stay warm!
