I'm so close to being done with the center blocks for the orange peel blocks. I think it is just this teal block and then two in browns. Then border decisions will follow.
I also made good progress on the strings yesterday. I was curious about whether I would be able to get enough contrast with just neutrals to still see the pattern. I think that it will work. Then I made a trek out to get some background and border fabrics for Nine Carat Diamonds. More details to come, but I think it will be fabulous.
There is still a bit of schoolwork to be done before Monday, along with more laundry, but there should still be some time for a bit of hand quilting and maybe even a string block or two before the day is done. I'm linking up with Slow Stitching Sunday and Oh Scrap! today. Be sure to make a visit before your day gets underway.

Both projects are gorgeous! Love the orange peel blocks especially the hand quilting!
Great string blocks!
Orange peels looks wonderful in the hoop :)
I love your string blocks! That quilt is coming together. Enjoy some slow stitching before your busy week begins!
What fun, scrappy projects!
Your scrappy projects look amazing. I like the string blocks with the black outlines. My next handwork quilt will be an orange peel. I like that working by hand makes you slow down and enjoy the project and fabrics I've chosen.
Love the orange peels! I don't want it to be finished so quickly... I want to see more of it :)
Enjoy your slow stitching today and thanks for linking up!
Can't WAIT to see what you found for your String quilt!!
Oh! I absolutely love how you added that black border to your strings! So pretty - I may have to copy you! And then neutral strings to keep the string theme! Such a creativity! Your orange peel is stunning! Congratulations! Thank you for sharing!
Sounds like you are making progress in a lot of projects. I always love how colorful your quilts are. That string quilt is going to be amazing. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Beautiful projects--I love string quilts and that black really makes your colors sing. And your orange peels are beautiful..enjoy your sunday hugs, Julierose
You managed to get a lot of contrast with your neutrals. It looks great. Your hand-quilting is lovely. I really enjoy hand-quilting. Very relaxing!
Your quilts are very pretty. I really like the way the second one is progressing.
Yes, both are beautiful. Someday, I plan on doing an orange peel quilt... It's amazing how much you accomplish every month :)
Beautiful and bright projects. Hope you've been able to get in some sewing time here and there now that school is back in session.
I love the hand quilting on the orange peel! Motivates me. Haven't been quilting lately, but its time!
