Dumpster Diving 4 (The Christmas Edition) Takes Shape

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 . . .
