Hard to believe it is February with the temperatures in the 80's. Will be again tomorrow. Worked outside some but not as much as I should of been doing.
Today I had to wait for servicemen to come and check out the new dishwasher. It hadn't worked like it should so I called them to check on it. I thought it might of been off balance but actually it has a faulty door and control panel. Now I have to wait for another to replace it.
Thank goodness I didn't have surgery.
Yesterday I did make a few more Retro Air-Ship Propeller blocks.
Slowly I'm getting that one done. I don't remember how many I'll need but do know I have quite a few left to make.
Check this out...............
14 eggs today, the girls are liking this warm weather.
Today I started on the string quilt
Made large and small pieces to cut out the 4 1/2" squares from. Now I do not use a foundation, just sew the strips together.
Now the strips are not string per-say but various size cut strips. So as long as sew a fair 1/4" it all works out pretty good. I also use spray starch to keep the fabric from stretching.
Cut 4 1/2 strips to get the 4 1/2 squares and I just happen to have a 4 1/2 " square ruler. Makes it so easy to trim.
All is strips I had except the black check. That was in my stash. They needed to be 2 1/2 so I used the cutter for those
Have enough for 19 blocks but need 30, so what... that is about 2/3 done.
I having fun with this one.
Wow the string quilt looks amazing, you are certainly very talented.
