Remember these beauties?

Oh GOODNESS, this is probably my most neglected UFO – I think I am even short a few blocks, but I wasn’t sure how to set them, I got busy with other things, lost my love ---

And put them in TIME OUT!

There are so many ways to set a quilt, but just putting these together block to block was too similar to another orange sampler quilt I’ve got.

Setting them on point with alternate blocks? No, I’ve done that to a quilt, and that really leaves wide open space that looks best with really fussy quilting.  I wanted something different than that.

But simple sashings and 9 patches looked pretty predictable too….and what to choose for sashing?

And then it hit me.

Or I tripped over it….

Thank you Davidson County for another string-piecing-foundation book!!

This was waiting for me at the end of my driveway yesterday and I couldn’t help but notice that the smaller page size just might be perfect for…

and I happen to have a whole giant tub of….

And how about we do something really folksy for the cornerstones like:

Yeah, Baby!  Now this feels like a Bonnie Quilt!

String sashings and square in a square cornerstones!

But you know how it goes…..I have a MYSTERY to sew.  I already have ONE crumb strip project going.  Just HOW do I think I’ll find the time to work on these puppies?  ((It’s hard to tell in the photo, but those cornerstones have solid black triangles.  I like how they look!))

Too many quilts, too little time…..but what a way to go!

You can find the block tutorials over on Randy’s blog HERE.  I really enjoyed making them, plan to catch up and finish them all, and get this quilt to completion….when I can!

***Update***

For those that ordered “Devoted to Scraps” from me….I have tracking numbers PROMISING they will arrive on my doorstep on Friday, so they can go out to you on Saturday so I can go to Oregon on Sunday –this is my crazy life!

I know we sold more than the first order so while in Texas I placed a second order because those moved so fast.   They should arrive while I am in Oregon, and I will mail those out upon my return ---thank you for your understanding.  My supplier was OUT, and I had to go to another distributor and get them drop shipped.  They are on their way.
