Bits and Pieces

I pressed the first stack of HSTs for Flaneur.  You can see that there are still a lot more to be pressed.

I also sub-cut all of the scrappy trips tubes for Raconteur.  

It was so nice outside Saturday that I sat and unpicked the strips.  That means eighteen more blocks are now ready to assemble as time and energy permit.

When I sub cut the tubes, there was one extra 2.5" "ring" from each, so those were turned into a very long strip of 2.5" squares.  

Once pressed, I will set this long strip aside to use as an insert into the low volume backing.

Jan O. posted about a recent finish for her guild's charity program and a light bulb went off in my head.

I have a large stack of 2.5" scrappy brown strips (foreground) left from an unknown project that would work perfectly with her design.

I'll pair each brown with a low volume - scrappy of course.

I've named this one Hospice 1 as it will be a comfort quilt.

Hospice 1 is now ready for its first round of leader-ender (or mindless) stitching.

And then I thought about this jelly roll that has been in my studio for eons (from long before I quit buying pre-cuts).  Again, pairing the darker prints with low volumes would make another comfort quilt, which I've named Hospice 2.

Hospice 2 is also ready for its turn as a leader ender or mindless stitching project.
