Post Surgery

 It has been quite a while since I posted anything here!

Things are happening in my Hidey Hole,

but I can't show them yet.

In addition, I had a carpal tunnel release a week and a half ago,

so that has slowed down the sewing.

I had the forethought to cut a quilt to have ready to sew

after the surgery and I finished that in record time!

I can sew, but it really bothers my hand to cut things.

What am I going to do??

When I moved 2 1/2 years ago, I put some things into the plastic cases

they sell for scrap booking papers and such.

I pulled one of those out and found all of these 1 1/2" strips

I had cut when I made my sister and brother in law a

GINORMOUS log cabin quilt a few years ago.

The fabrics are all reproduction fabrics.... NOT my favorites at all.

I had also sewn a bunch of bits and pieces together into blocks

with no plan in mind.

Out came this box.

 

 

Maybe I could do something that wouldn't require a lot of cutting.

String quilts are not my thing, either,

but I could make some string blocks with all of these strips.

Someone would like it!

(I hope!!)

 

 

 

 

 

The green strips were pulled out to use for the centers of the blocks.

 

 

 

A bunch can be sewn and then trimmed once it's comfortable for me

to use the rotary cutter again.

 

 

I pulled out the blocks I had made and put them up on my design wall.

It looks like someone threw up reproduction fabrics all over the place.

Now what to do with these??

 

Suggestions??

 

Happy Quilting!
