Early Morning Sewing

I couldn't sleep last night.

Ever have those nights???

 

I got up WELL before dawn today and began

building a WALL.

 

**Every year I make quilts for the high school graduates

at my church....(with the help of others!)

and THIS year the youth group has

EXPLODED!!!!**

 

I figured I'd better get GOING.....

I don't want to be caught without a QUILT

for someone

at the end of this school year!!!

;)

 

 

I had these "building blocks" already cut...

so it was a simple matter to begin piecing them

when sleep wouldn't come.

Blocks were constructed by using

4" strips (width of fabric)

and

3" strips (width of fabric)

Two were sewn together and pressed.

Then I cut the "Blocks" into 8" segments.

I was able to get 5 "BLOCKS" out of each strip set.

 

Then....

just for fun.....

I made some with

2" strips  (width of fabric)

and

5" strips (width of fabric)

 

Again....

I cut them into 8" chunks.

 

I am now constructing my WALL...

I'll let you know when the mortar is SET.
