Tonight I sewed another section similar to last night's work, then stitched the two sections together to create a large background area. It's a good sized piece, several 6.5" blocks wide and long. I need more striped sections, but I have to figure out the best approach--wide but not as long, or more individual sized blocks. I need to analyze what I can get out of the piece I've already made, how to fill in the rest of the background for the quilt, and take into consideration the remaining mini-stash of strips. Not a biggie, just need to think it over.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my quilts and travels. I make lots of quilts, many as gifts, some for charity, and a few on commission. I love to travel and I own a car, but I am afraid to drive in heavy traffic. So I often use public transportation to visit big cities. I don't just go on trips--I have adventures!
