String Block a Day Update
I'm a little behind on blog posts, so I think I'll do a bunch of short ones, instead of a mega one. This is the first one that comes to mind. The good news is, I'm keeping up with the blistering pace of one block per day. The bad news is, I'm getting bored with it. The reason I stopped using these fabrics in the first place is because I was kind of over the "brown" color palette. 22 blocks later, bored again. And, my stash of scraps seems to be growing, rather than disappearing. I do plan to slug along and finish the job, though. I mean, it's not that bad!

I like them! I'd be happy to bring you some more colors. Just let me know!
Gee, thanks Laura! But the idea is to get rid of scraps, not invite more!
I love this kind of piecing. I need to do this myself!
I do like how you drop in an occasional bright strip!
I'm sure there is someone in your circle that would love to own it when you are all done. Maybe that will help motivate you to finish it.
I think life is too short to work on projects we feel are ugly. It takes away the joy! If you are over those brown prints, I say bag 'em up, along with the blocks you've already made, and donate them to your local thrift store. Let them go, they're only scraps. No guilt allowed. I spotted some fun modern scraps in your stash -- use those for your string quilt. Just my two cents. :)
