Anyway, so I've been happily sewing away today. This is my kind of piecing...sew, flip, sew, flip...no seam matching! No rules! Perfect sizing when you trim it up! What could be better?

Can't.....stop....!
Making string blocks, that is. :)
My "traditional" bee, Miss Bee Havin', is planning a sew day soon and we will all be bringing 8.5" string blocks to make quilts for the local hospital's Neuro Care Unit. I already had some wonky strips cut from the border of my batik BOM (um... blocks circa 2008? As soon as I get it quilted I'll be posting pics...it is SO ME!! And it's the first bed quilt I've made just for myself. It will be my retreat/travel companion :) But I digress.

I love string quilts and I love batiks... your quilt is going to be gorgeous!
I really really hate I'm going to miss the B'ville Bee Retreat. Not on;y will I miss you all but I had to move my scrap basket this evening and just about threw my back out. We've got to do something about that thing.
I could just FLIP OVER this type of STITCHING. ;)
