Ashley333: Love the seahorse. My 10 year old granddaughter has sent me a bluebird picture done in Pixel Art. I may need to give that a try.
Update on my progress: !) Finished binding the community outreach quilt
2) up to between 50 and 60 of the string blocks. I'm pulling scraps from what I've come to call my "Bin of Horrors". For forty years I've thrown strips and strings in it until I can no linger close the lid. I've used scraps from this in the past and I've often wondered why I've kept some of these tiny bits. So it's turned into a "throw as you go" cleanout when I should be sewing more.
3) the top with the block that's pieced wrong just lays across the longarm frame mocking me!
