Scrappy Quilt show - Right Here!! :)
#2406
SandyinZ4, I had foundations ready to machine piece the crazy blocks and then I broke my ankle and have had to sit for weeks on end with it elevated.....so I sat my scrap bin beside me and just started hand sewing scraps onto the foundations.
Two more weeks with ankle in plaster then I hope I go into a 'moon boot' so I can walk around on it a little and sit and sew on the machine. I have just about worn my finger out hand sewing as I don't use a thimble.

String Zigzag
Here is my latest string quilt, which will be quilted and bound by a quilting friend who owns a longarm and then donated to a victim of the Oklahoma tornadoes. I usually use sashing with my string quilts as it makes it easier to deal with the seam allowances. But I was playing with the blocks at a quilting retreat and some of the other retreaters convinced me to try this setting. I did press the seams open where the blocks come together, which was a PITA but will hopefully prevent her breaking any needles while quilting.
