I love the idea of using a drying rack for keeping track of strips - sure beats draping them over every available surface in the sewing room! I'll have to be on the lookout of one now.
I'm working on a modified double Irish chain. Spent two weekends ago pulling fabric and cutting strips,
and last weekend sewing the strips and recutting them and then sewing them into different strips.
and then grouping them for each block.
Now I'm assembling the strips into blocks. This part goes way faster than the rest, since most of the "thinking" part is done. I hope to have the top assembled by the end of the day. (This pic was taken before I assembled all the strips, I did up two to make sure my process was working)
I've got several quilts that need binding ( that the cats love)
and want to get a few more floppies quilted. I really want to spend time with my new embroidery machine - and I don't have to be back to work until next Thursday. I started a crazy quilt with machine embroider with an older machine, so I plan on pulling that out and getting more blocks done. I think I had 20 out of 100 done, so I've got a long way to go.
I started collecting lace and fabric in 2014 and started cutting and assembling in 2016, but I've not worked on it much in 2017. I hoped for an Antique Wedding Gown look. The beiges are showing up much darker in this picture than they are in person.
