and so it goes on

 

I first blathered on about attempting string piecing in January 2010.

Not to be put off I blathered again that month about the same thing .

Being very persistent I bored you again here . 

 

 

Here we are in May 2013 and I am putting the blocks together .

No square is square.

No block is the same size.

I am still not a quilter .

 

 

It's getting really cold but I'm still stripping .

Girls , girls , girls ! What were you thinking ?

I'm talking about my scrappy strip blocks !

Although I am trying to do at least one each time I go near the sewing machine I don't seem to be getting there very quickly .

It also doesn't look like I've even made a dent in the scraps either .

I will just keep on stripping as it is very cold and I need a blanket soon !

I'm just a stripper .

Some of you were a little surprised I don't quilt and now you can see some more of my strip blocks you now know why I don't quilt ! Yes they are pretty terrible but I really wanted to get something done with all my scraps . This is also a very productive way of stalling when I should be doing other things . I have a new softie to be released soon and I'm almost at the point where I need to start the pattern writing and the longer I can put that off the better .

 The Cath Kidson fabric in the photo below is what I won from Susie at I love that fabric and it will not be getting cut up for my blanket , thanks Susie .

Warning ! This post may disturb some quilters .

This is possibly a bit scary for some as I am not a quilter and I won't pretend to be one but I'm trying string piecing , yes me !

I can see this may become a bit of a problem as I've had so much fun making these and you can use teeny , tiny scraps too !

I know I have probably broken every quilting rule with these "blocks" but who cares ?

Don't worry real quilters, if this turns outs bigger than a placemat I'll call it a blanket , lol !
