It was a day of incremental steps. The string blocks for Orca Bay finally got finished up last night in the wee hours. Instead of following the directions for the order of trimming I decided to try something different. Without squaring them up first, I just cut them in half.
The nice thing about doing it this way was that I could control the little corner triangles and avoid tiny little pieces on the ends.
I'm still working on getting the corner triangles sewn onto the string blocks, but I wanted to get at least a few blocks put together to see how it is going to look.
Then I felt like I needed to spend some time working around the house, I decided to tackle the downstairs linen closet. It has been on my list for while now
Tiny little islands of order make me happy. If not for the job and the three kids and all the quilting, maybe I could make my whole house look this neat and tidy? Well, maybe I'll just enjoy the closet for now instead of getting carried away.
That's exactly how I trimmed my triangles too. Love your colors!
