What I'm working on:
I enjoy string piecing, but it can't be an end in itself much longer. I need to come up with a plan for my next planned scrappy quilt, or maybe I need to switch gears and make a very planned quilt from a pre-selected range of fabrics. I haven't decided yet... right now I'm in a kind of holding pattern, just trying to get in enough creativity to stay sane during the stressful final weeks of the school year.
I did load Orca Bay onto the Megaquilter last weekend. It will be quilted with black thread in my usual quick quilting pattern, squiggle-loop-star.
Grandma had me lay out and pin her "plus" quilt top. She ties most of her quilts after they are pinned to a pre-quilted backing.
Here's another one I pinned yesterday. These should keep her busy for a week or two! I really like the scrappiness of both these patterns. Take a look at some of the other designs at
Design Wall Monday.

your string blocks are looking great! I was making some, but fell off the bandwagon. I need to get back to them :)
