String Blocks, Anyone?

You know how little projects take on a life of their own, and completely rule the day?  A couple of months ago, we had to get a little gizmo to make the TV in my sewing room work properly in the digital age.  I ignored it for awhile, because I haven't spent much time in my sewing room this summer, so no need for the TV.   Finally one night, DH decided to hook it up.  But.....my sewing room is a major disaster area, and he couldn't access the DVD player that was a necessary part of the plan.  So today was the day.  I had to move and reorganize my entire stash.  Now, my stash is only a drop in the bucket compared to some of your stashes, but it's a lot of fabric.  And I haven't been sewing much, so it's not getting used.  I found a few things that I had totally forgotten about. 

Among the bags and boxes, I found a pile of scraps, mostly fairly narrow strips.  Coincidentally, I watched  a show this morning about string quilts, and I told DH how much I dislike making string blocks.  So.... if you'd like to have your name in a drawing for some 'stringy' scraps, please leave a comment on this post, and I'll draw a name Sunday evening.  I'd like to get them out of here as soon as possible. 

blocks not included, just strips!

And now, I must get back down to the sewing room, and do some sewing.  I'm going on vacation soon, and I may want to stop at a quilt shop or two along the way.  And you know what that means?  MORE fabric!  As a friend of mine is fond of saying, I don't buy fabric because I like to quilt, I quilt because I like to buy fabric.

Hope you're having a stitchy weekend.....Sunny
