New projects...

Strips... lots of them!
I got this fabric from http://www.connectingthreads.com/ for really cheap last week. Just waiting to try something new. I decided to give the chain pieced log cabin blocks a try. I hadn't thought of it this way, but when you are using strips instead of measured pieces (or tiny scraps as in my case) the sewing goes a lot faster!

I made 8 of these in a matter of about an hour. Also, added in some other blocks...

 I don't even know the proper name for it. Whatever I think they look pretty fun. I'm planning on adding some solid colored sashing between the blocks - likely white. I'm up to 16 blocks done for this one already. So rewarding!
