Hello Quilt Friends from the valley!
We are enjoying spring weather:) rain and clouds with occasional thunder storms and sun. The spring flowers are braving the storms and rain fairly well.
Last few days I've been adding scrappy strips to my new string fabric, and using up my last batch of scrappy string fabric and left over pieces and scraps for useful items. I'm inspired by Carolyn Forster's book, String Quilts, published by Search Press, her book is full of great tips and ideas, lovely!
I also finished piecing together my Log Cabin blocks in Courthouse configuration that I started a few summers ago, blocks are approx. 13", some a little bigger, some a little smaller. As you might have noticed the top row left corner block is pieced in the traditional Log Cabin pattern. I wanted to shake it up a little.
Teresa @ Teresa From DownUnder, has posted a fun You Tube tutorial, Scrap Quilt with Strips . I'm going to give those blocks a try and see how they turn out. The blocks will be 4.5" square and that will work perfect for me as I'm keeping projects on the smaller side to use in bags, and sewing accoutrements, etc. I'll show you the results soon.
And that is the quilt news from the valley where I'm thankful for warmer spring temperatures.
What is your newest inspiration?
I'll be by to visit!
