OMG January Done!

My string blocks for Covered in Love are done. My One Monthly Goal was to make 8, there are 12.  My reasoning was that I found another part of an old sheet for the foundation and the scraps were already all over my sewing room. So I decided to sew until that bag of scraps was mostly gone. I did have to cut a few of the longer strings and in doing so sewed end pieces together to start another set of crumb blocks.  But that is not on any challenge list, it is just an ongoing project.

You can see, I used brights and some darks.  There is white and light tone on tone, some scraps from a Bronco quilt I made, some Christmas fabric, some of the fabric from baby quilts. I love recalling each one.

I hope the recipients of these string quilts with have just as much fun looking at all the different fabrics that will be in the quilts. I have been inspired  to make some for myself and several of my friends are making some also.

I will link this post to Patty's One Monthly Goal link-up, when she posts it in a few days.  Until then,   it will be a stand alone post here.

ps: These blocks are in the mail on their way to Kat in Texas.


Stay Busy and Stay Happy
