Baby steps . . . each little bit of progress is good, right?
I had given a long arm friend a quilt top and backing that I thought was all ready to go. But she texted me yesterday morning with this photo, to let me know the backing was too small. I had given her the wrong backing for that quilt. Darn!! Luckily she only lives about 5 miles from me, so I drove out and traded projects, giving her the "next" one on my list.
The doll quilt turned out very cute using those leftover squares from a backing. I have a lot of solids, so it was easy to choose some of the same colors from that paint splatter print. The red teddy bear will be wrapped in this one for donation.
One more of the UFO block sets hanging in the closet is closer to being a finished top. There were 31 of these string blocks (9.5" square), with about half of them already sewn into rows. Now all the rows are assembled, and maybe today I'll get the top all finished. The leftover string block went into my orphan block box.
Yes those scraps made a cute doll quilt. I like the orientation of your string blocks, it makes the strings look like quarter square triangle blocks and regular sashing.
