I ended up with only 4 string blocks from the weekend play time. The rest of the time was spent hemming slacks, but that is another story. So only 4 string blocks, and a little imagination, some fusible pieces and you get......
A small table topper hanging! Ready to be quilted and displayed next month.
A small project always motivates me to tackle what needs to be worked on....so next up are the scrappy blocks on the design wall. I have 3 rows sewn.....and it really looks much better than this photo shows.
I get to the assembly stage on some projects and just get a bit bored. OK, I get a lot bored. But I rely on my self imposed rule of 3 to prevent this from becoming a full/total/complete UFO.
So I am numbering rows and hoping for a good movie just made for sewing rows while watching. This will go in my stack of quilts for donations.....to replace one I will deliver on Wednesday. You can never have too many quilts to share, and there is always someone who needs to be covered. Especially at this time of year, I am thankful I can share my gift. Stay warm, and Happy stitching.

My daughter would like this as she is a cardinal lover. I have made her two pillows with a cardinal in the past.
I have difficulty doing 'low volume" but your additions made the low volume string blocks sing. (pun not intended, but it made me laugh when I re-read it.)
This beautiful little topper will compliment the winter quilt you did a couple of years ago, won't it? (Has it been that long--I am awful at reckoning the passage of time)
Nice quilt for donating. So good of you to share.
BTW, I get bored at assembly stage a lot, too!
CUTE table topper! Love the future donation scrappy string quill. What are those block sizes and the center's strip width? Do you sew them on paper?
This is a perfect string topper/hanging---I have an ongoing love affair with Cardinals too.
I love your bird hanging! The bird, the colors and the string background. It will be perfect for the winter months.
Cute little topper - a red cardinal is such a sign of the season. The scrappy quilt is stunning - may just borrow your pattern for next year.
Only 4 string blocks? How is that possible? I love the cardinal on those white string blocks, so pretty with the added texture.
Well you may say the quilt on the wall looks better than in the photo but I reckon this is great!
What a beautiful cardinal and seeing your scrappy quilt reminds me I have a UFO like that too!
Love the cardinal wall hanging.
The quilt for donation looks great too.
