work continues

on the basement (the walls are up! I can 'see' how it's going to look: good!)

And I'm sewing upstairs, which can be a pain when I need something that is downstairs, but I'm adjusting and it's a good reminder of how I used to sew all the time and how lucky I am to have a dedicated area for sewing/quilting now.

 I made these string blocks

and then when I was culling my binder of "Quilts I want to make some day"--you know the one that I'd have to live to be 400 to even come close and that's if I would quit adding to it; I found a free pattern that was given out at one of the Shop Hops from years gone by.

It's called Stack of Scraps by Susan Fuquay

These 3 rows are 6.5" wide and 60" long and then you're suppose to put a stripe fabric in between the rows (4.5 inches, I think) and then a wider one (6.5 inches) for the outer borders.  But I'm thinking of making another row or two with the stars. I got tired of making them and put it aside. 

I've been continuing the Zentangling. 

On Sunday, I brought my quilts out of hiding. There is going to be a cedar closet for quilt storage and I wanted to see how many I could fit.

This is a pile of 30!
It's not all of them. 
I refolded them to measure 14 x 35 as I think that's the inside area of the closet.
This stack measures about 40 inches high! 
Reminds me of the story The Princess and the Pea!

I started the Schnibble Winter White but couldn't find where I had put the pieces.  I found them finally yesterday and this afternoon I had a flimsy.
The fun continues.
