Well, I sewed with some orange this week. I don't have a lot of long enough strips. So there won't be many string blocks.
Right now the paper remains on the block until I decide what to do with them and when!!
Then I finally got around to checking out my spreadsheet so I'd know which UFO's I was supposed to work on this month.
I'm still learning about sharing screenshots. Not sure if you can even read this or if you can click on it and make it bigger. But the orange highlighted ones are the projects I need to work on in May. They
are En Provence. It needs to be quilted ( to the quilter) and bound. I have the backing made, but need to purchase batting and get on the quilters schedule. .
and Long May She Wave. Same needs to be done. Yikes! I see some $$$ being spent at the long armer.
I need batting for both quilts and the backing needs to be constructed for Long May She Wave. ... I may not get these goals done this month. But I will try!
Joining Angela and friends at Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2023. Have you sewed orange scraps this week?
Love The "rods" of different colors offset from each other. Should result in a fun modern quilt. I've never used a water pen. I do a ton of paper piecing and find what works best is tiny stitches to really perforate the paper.
ReplyDeleteI think your spreadsheet is so impressive! I always have ideas of making one at the beginning of the year, but haven't gotten around to it. The orange string blocks are so happy. I haven't heard of a water pen - will have to look that up!
ReplyDeleteI did sew orange scraps! Your string blocks are wonderful, and I know more will join them in coming weeks.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a water pen. Hopefully it helps with the paper pulling. The string blocks look great.
ReplyDeletebeautiful start on orange! I learned to strip piece on newspaper too!
ReplyDeleteSo impressed with your spreadsheet - I love Excel! Your strings are pretty. I don't save a lot of long strips for the middle, but I sure have a bunch of smaller strips! I have not heard of the water pen.
ReplyDeleteI like the color coding on your spreadsheet. I do that on mine too - mostly to make it easy to find the things currently getting attention. Love those orange strings!!
