Just a Stringing Along....

I have been stringing.  All the triangles are strung and sub-cut.  I used my GO triangle die to cut phone book paper templates to string too.  I also cut corner triangles to string on.  It didn't take long for me to decide to short cut and just die cut some of the corner sqs----lol.

Issoc Triangle die # 55016  and triangle die # 55009

Six blocks sewn, 24 to GO, then the question is to border or not to border!
This will def. be a scrappy busy keepsake.

Orca Bay Blue Strings

I strip cut a handful of 1 1/2" blues to use on the corners.  The rest of the strips came from my 1" pile (left over from my mini pineapple days)

I love using my GO 3 1/2" Sq Die to cut my strings after I have taken the paper off.

Lots of Ideas on how to use these cute blocks!

Mom’s strings

My S-I-L, Phyllis, unearthed a nice size stack of string pieced blocks. Mom has been working on sewing these for awhile.

Phyllis took over and set the top together. She did a lovely job, I don’t know that I would have stayed sane working with such small border strips.

I love a scrappy quilt and this one has everything in it. The paper-pieced blocks are about 5”. There are 130 of them in the top.

Mom was thrilled when she got to see the top.

I machine quilted large roses, border to border.

Now Phyllis just needs to get the binding sewn and mom will have a new beauty to keep her warm.
