Evidence of a busy weekend
Except for a few breaks to eat lunch, I had two busy days at the sewing machine.
This is the beginnings of my Crumb-Along quilt. Today I made the entire alphabet - it's stacked on top of everything. I sewed them into "words" of 4 or 3 - and found myself singing my ABCs all day! In addition to the blocks I made following Jo's directions, I've added about a dozen "orphan" blocks from the orphan basket. Not in the photo are several dozen small stars from which I'll make a couple more rows. Then I'll add a red border like Jo did, then the alphabet and any other stars needed to fill in the blanks. I should have a flimsy completed by Tuesday!
This is the October blocks for the Bloggers' Block of the Month. This one comes from Vicki of Field Trips in Fiber. The process was a bit different - no HSTs to cut, and therefore a bit of waste. But I put all the waste HSTs in my HST bag (which is getting stuffed - another project to do!)
These are the 68 5.5" string blocks I made earlier in the week, waiting to be trimmed.
Done. Trimmed to 5.5" and ready to be used in yet another project.

Aren't those letters fun? (I made my first ones for a project in progress.) Now I'm intrigued by the online BOM (as though I need another project....)
Your crumb blocks are impressive - and the stack of string blocks intrigues me no end... what are you going to use them in, I wonder.
Love it when I get to sew for hours on end:)! looks like you got a lot done.
I can't wait to see what kind of quilts you make with these blocks.
