To get a good distribution of fabrics throughout the sashing blocks for
Danuta's Garden I started work on three strips at the same time. When last I posted I had finished the first of the seven long sashing strips that I need (29 four-patch squares long); now there's a pair of them finished.
It's nice to see the second one come together relatively quickly - it was about half done when I picked it up. There is a third strip that has about 15 blocks in it right now but I'm almost thinking that I will begin one or two more strips before finishing this one up and then add on to all three simultaneously, just to keep the fabric mix working.
I also started piecing three more stars for the outer border. Time to dig and find a few new prints for the stars.
A pretty haystack of little threads from the tiny squares...M

Your haystack looks like found art!
ReplyDeleteI love that little pile of off cuts......very satisfying.......shows how much you've done.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie: WOW things are moving right along with Danuta's garden quilt--sure is lovely, love the colors. Looks like I will be pullin' up the rear as far as being the last one to make progress on the same pattern. You and Jane are way ahead and of course I just realized lately that I need to enlarge the pattern and piecing requirements for a queen size bed--anyhow, not thinking about how many HUNDRED pieces more I need, just enjoying the daily process--making the little 4-patch squares--I too have a neat little pile of thread-offs. Picked up some lovely floral pastels at Dolan's in Renfrew last week to add. When and if you have time would love the recipe for the choc chip nut cookies--they sound wonderful. TTFN, Lindiana
