There's been some serious power sewing
happening over the last few days.
Scraps were paired
then paired again leader ender style
as I pieced the blocks
for two class sample quilt tops.
The resulting pairs were paired yet again
so the segments were long enough to chain piece
end-to-end without interruption.
By Thanksgiving afternoon it was time
to press that long LONG strip.
(the quilt in the background
is one that Wanda made/quilted)
The uber-LONG strip was sub-cut
into approx. 66" lengths which
are now pinned to the design wall.
There are fifty strips.
They'll each finish at 1" wide.
Here's a close up so you can see the wide variety
of prints in this glorious holiday mashup.
Next step will be to start sewing these together . . .

I love it ! And I would dumpster dive in your scraps any day of the week :-)
I've been seeing a lot of Vortex scrap blocks. These strips would be so much easier. I'm definitely going to keep this one in mind.

A Christmas jingle. What fun.
So fun, Julie! And I love how this coordinates with your new Grinch sign! Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We so enjoyed the kids (and especially Langston š) being here. Now a quiet evening at home and I'm back to sewing. š
