Hiya all,

Just wanted to share my morning's work with you. I've been through my stash and pulled out all those awkward shaped little left overs, strips cut off borders and binding etc and sorted 'em out into strips or scraps!

I feel a string quilt coming on!!! :wink: :D

all right! now to www.quiltville.com to find a scrap quilt!

Usually when I see someone's progress (sewing room, quilt, etc.) I get the urge to do it too. Too bad I don't feel the urge to do this. :( I could really use it.

Nice job and a good feeling after, isn't it?

Thanks Barb, must say I AM rather pleased with myself! I like the look of String Quilting Primer on quiltville, looks easyish for my first go! And I think I'll make a lap quilt for Joseph, my six year old so I think he'll love it however it turns out!

Nice job! Yup...I can just see that string quilt now...well, what are you waiting for?? :lol:

Just grabbin' a quick sandwich, Pat, it's past lunchtime here! then I'll get crackin'; I have all the zeal of a new convert - I've never really done a lot of machine piecing before, mostly by hand and I do like it (portable, can do it on the sofa in from of the TV, etc) but I am liking the machine stuff since i joined the board. It goes so fast!!!

Isn't it amazing how long it can take just to get everything ready to start a new quilt!! But, in the meantime, you have also managed to clean up your scrap bin. Great job

I cannot wait to see the quilt you make from your strips. Keep us posted with your progress. Fun project!

Great job on sorting the scraps! Just wish it were catching as I NEED to do that also, alas....... :(
Maybe when I FINISH the project I am engaged in now, THEN, I will be inspired to sort before I begin another! :lol:

Thanks all - have already made 2 stringy blocks! I'm lovin' it! I've had such a lot of inspiration from you all on the board!!!

Here's a great site for scrap quilts: http://quiltville.com/index.html

Hey K....great minds!! I too have been searching thru the net for a good scrappy quilt, Elle gave me a good bag full a couple of weeks ago, and now I have nearly finished the twist n turn...(Made a right mess of the machine quilting :roll: but I am gonna live with it as it's been a stressful week and that's my excuse lol), so what to do next with all my scraps??

Can't wait to see yours for inspiration K!! :D
