String Block

Fair time is rapidly approaching and Leia doesn’t have many entries this year. 

So we sat down after watching the new SpiderMan movie (excellent!) and started a string quilt. Or maybe a wallhanging. Or could be a pillow . . . 

She wants to do a series of theme blocks. This one is Night, using blues, purples and some galaxy scraps left over from Addy’s astronaut quilt.

The next one will be either Music or Light. She decided to do a same width but different color center strip so they will match up - but not be matchy-matchy - when the blocks are sewn together.

We made a giant mess had fun going through my multiple bags of scraps, sorting them into colors/themes.

 No peeking!

Most are bigger chunks of fabric that need to be cut down before they can be used. I think Leia would have more fun if she could just grab a strip and sew it on. Less thinking and planning, more doing and sewing. 

And admiring.
