Over the weekend, I haven't had too much time to sit and sew. The weather was so warm and beautiful Friday afternoon, I decided to head outside and dig in the dirt a bit. It was wonderful!
I did get the rest of my red scrappy strings sewn up into 6" string blocks. I ended up with a total of 28 blocks - which is not enough to really do anything with so I will just store them for later.
I still have quite a few red scraps but they are nice big chunks and I just don't want to cut them up into smaller pieces. They all fit nicely in my color bin without being squished so I think I will say I am finished sewing with red for the month of March.
Time to move on to something new!

Reds are one of those colors that a little goes a long way. Maybe that's why some of us don't have as much in our scrap bins? Lots of strong and vivid reds in your blocks, very dramatic.
I am loving all the red this month! A question I have for you is - do you usually put a sashing around all your string blocks before completing the quilt top? I'm trying to decide if my string star will need some sashing!
Nice job on those RED String Blocks!! Looking forward to seeing what other quilting goodness comes from your sewing room.
That's a good feeling to see the fabric tub not overflowing
