One down, five to go. It's amazing how long it takes to piece strips together, especially when the strips are pieced as well. I spent at least five hours cutting and stitching and I only finished this and made a few strips for the next one. I decided to use the first yellow scrap I came to, no matter how small and I pieced those together until they made a strip a little over 24 inches long. I am going to FMQ this one, but the rest of them will be quilt as you go stitch and flip.
And the big news of the day? The HVAC guy is here right now finishing the air conditioner! I might be able to sew in a cool room this afternoon!
Yesterday was the last day of net neutrality. I know a lot of people are happy to see it go and others are upset. I am, well, neutral. I hope it doesn't change our internet service or our blogging world.

ReplyDeleteGood guess, but not it. Stay tuned.
Deleteto tame those scraps!!!
ReplyDeleteI love an afternoon spent taming scraps. You have me intrigued. Hope you link your finished project to Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteWhat ever you've got in mind, you got a good start on it. Hope you are now stitching in air conditioned comfort. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens with the change to the Internet rules.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many possibilities-I like your colors-my weeds never match so well. I am interested that your made your own first comment so you can receive replies. I clicked the notify me box after the first missing comment but most everyone still came out as a no reply blocker. Also thank you for the comment you left on my blog. AARRGGH I hope they work this out soon.
ReplyDeleteThey're still "no reply" but at least I know there's a comment. I hope they work it out soon too. I see that other blog hosts have already figured it out, at least I suppose so. I've been getting email replies from some so I know they got my email addy with my comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Marti, I hope I am commenting on the correct blog! I saw the quilt and decided it must be the appropriate blog. Love the scrappy strip quilt. (I used to be a quilter in another hobby...erm, make that collector of fabrics!) The scraps are like the paper snippets that collect...they multipy and take over everything. This is a beautiful looking project with the warm shades of color. Just became your newest follower. Thanks for visiting me, and I hope you'll come back again, and perhaps become my new follower. Right now it's very aggravating with blogger not letting me know I've got comments! Have a great weekend. TFS
