weekend strings

I have this pile of scraps, on the floor, near the treadle sewing machine, again. I wanted to get it sewn up and gone before the end of the weekend. I don't think it will make the room feel Christmasy at all.
I have started another wonky courthouse steps from Bonnie Hunter. I think I could make 10 with my collection of strings and crumbs. My first one isn't quilted yet.


Even after a sewing spree, the pile didn't go away until I threw what is left in a bag and hid it in a basket. sigh.... but I did sew a few blocks together.


I have 20 more blocks sewn, pressed, and trimmed for a total of 50.


I have another 5 ready to trim.

    A good way to use up strings. I'm hoping to do a little (or big) string quilt in 2020. (Of course I do have a ton of UFOs going into next year and a lot of plans to start new projects.) But maybe I can squeeze in some string work.
