Scrappy Progress


I've been working on these paper-pieced string blocks for awhile now, and every now and then I like to pull them out, arrange them and sew a few larger blocks together. This will eventually be a quilt for my friend, but it's only about 1/2 done at this point, so I've got a ways to go still.

These are pieced completely serendipitously, just using whatever scraps I have at the moment. So there's no planning, no color placement, nothing. I just grab a piece of fabric and sew it on and repeat. Despite that chaos, it's still pretty, isn't it? I ran out of the gray linen strips that run through the middle of each block, so I've just switched to using whatever gray fabric I have, and even that variation adds a nice touch.
