dresden wedges and rings

 I dug into my 1 1/2 inch strip bin for pink. This year I am sewing the color with a light, in strips. I cut them at 2 1/2 inches and have a zig zag  idea in my head. I am planning  to use 3 strips each month and see how far that gets me at years end. I was hoping to make 36 segments and I made 59.

My sewing time has been limited, but, I have sewn a bunch of dresden  blades while I am sewing squared away. I was hoping for more of them.



I was planning to put this project away at the end of the month, but, I want to make some more progress. I think I will leave the blades out, and make a few every time I sit down to sew. I have added it to  the bottom of the list of my 5 quilt project for the year, and see if I can get closer to a finish. If I do that every color for the rainbow scrap challenge,  I will have added 12 more quilts to the year.  LOL

I did get one complete ring finished.
