Today at quilt club sewing I decided to work on this string quilt kit. I started it Wednesday after I finished the RWB blocks. Since this was still spread out on the work table I decided to just go with it instead of cleaning it up to work on the RWB quilt again. I got all of the blocks made and I barely had a half dozen strips of blue fabric left when I was done.
Perfect. I really like how this is looking and it will have the orange as the binding too. I'll put both of these away until I finish the Oak Moth quilt since it's currently spread out by the sewing machine. I expect that I can have all of them done in a few weeks. I have also been making a set of birthday postcards but I won't show them until May. These are for the men in my life and one of them reads the blog. I'll share these cards after his birthday. I'll be on vacation that week anyway so it will be a good to have at least one post that week. Today I plan to start sewing the Oak Moth blocks and get back to crocheting the poncho. My hands are feeling better. This weekend I'll be back on the longarm quilting some veterans quilts.

That is another pretty one and orange sounds perfect for the binding.

The string quilt top looks great. I think the orange for the binding will be perfect.

Orange isn't always an east colour to work with but you've done well with this. Thank goodness for the colour wheel - I don't know what I would do without it.
