These are not finished by any means. I don't want a block to block look. I want it to flow together as a whole, so I have to do a connection somewhere.
I put the three together and I can see where there is an outside strip, it gives the block appearance. I turned the top two with no strips on that side and I can see what I like. I love the black intersperced here and there.
I now think I should put some cats and dogs and houses in. I got some neat blocks out of "Sew Precise".
The two blocks on the top, show the striped pieces of the long string that I did. I filled in the curve at the dip and left the round part alone and then I cut the whole strip straight. I just add and square up as I go but love the crooked things inside.
I will update as I make more mindless.
This has become my FAVORITE way of quilting. I just get all of the scraps, all of my left over strips and quilts are born! THEY decide how they will look and they are always beautiful! It does take a very long time to complete them as I start with the teeniest scraps but I LOVE them. Since it is an immense, time consuming but every minute loving experience, I am doing this one for ME!!!!! OMG!!!!! For ME!!! What a novel idea. Someone has to be a quilter to appreciate the time and love that goes into a scrap quilt. Sigh...................just thinking about it makes me feel calm and safe. Good luck with yours and maybe I will finally learn how to post a picture or two!
