Holy cow do these string block take forever. Of course I don't have many scraps, being fairly new to quilting, so I have to cut strips before I sew. I really do love the way they look though. I think this quilt is going to be great....and great big! Oh, and I ran out of neutrals so I went to Goodwill and bought some men's cotton shirts and twin sheets they had! This is so exciting.

AAAAHHHHH-STILL have no idea where these parts are going! This is a GREAT mystery!!! 600 HST!!!-and she could have taken Christmas Eve off so we can catch up, don' t you think? Not everyone has bags of the RIGHT COLOR HSTs waiting to be used. I am NOT whinig-just incredulous at the number of blocks and randomness of it all so far.

Well I've got my work cut out for me!!! I've been on vacation so haven't even started step 3 and 4 much less 5! :shock:
Good thing I have the week between Christmas and New Years off. DH is just going to have to fend for himself that week.. :lol: :lol:

I just discovered I already have more than enough brown triangles cut (for a never-got-stitched 1986 project) -- glad I had been concentrating on the strips first!
Aaand...I finished cutting part 1 pgp strips, instead of just sewn together!

I won't have to rip out the paper once I have the squares covered <wave>
You are correct, though - - this could take some time! <wave>

I'm done!! Yippee!!! Those actually went VERY fast. I had 20 done yesterday when I started and now, done.
I went with the gold, thanks to all for the input. So anxious to see the next step.
I have to say that I really fell in love with the black and white string blocks. Going to make my son in-law a quilt out of those, throwing in a punch of red here and there to keep it interesting. The strings are addicting!
