Today, I sorted what is left of my string scraps into colors:
(sort of) ;)))
these are the only ones left...
AND
these little corner triangles
[from
what was going to be
a broken dishes piece]
BUT: every time I sewed them together
they wonkified on me....(sigh)
So I am using these for block corners..
When all (or most of )these strings are gone
the piece will be deemed finished......
As I am pretty much randomly picking strings for each block, this
is turning out to be a
"String Vortex"...or (string vomit!!) --piece
I am:
not over-thinking anything...
I am not {obviously}
doing matchey-matchey
or
taking too long to pick and choose either.......
And as,
I am in love with any kind of scrappy quilts-
the clashings .......just are what happens...
(I am sure some of you out there are gnashing your teeth!
and thinking to yourselves: " Wow" does that go with
THAT?????? What is she thinking???)
See, that is the point, I am not thinking...just pulling
strips....
I don't want to see A N Y of these
S C R A P S
hanging around...
AND......
**somehow I cannot bear
to throw them out...**
************************************
Now for a very sad tale of woe....
Remember this piece I finished [from Lori at Humble Quilts] ?
Look what happened when I tried a
"so-called" wash out pen to begin marking
for quilting.....aaargh--oooh noooo...
DISASTER.....
I have washed and washed and put white vinegar on it--BUT
it keeps on coming back.... (S I G H )
I guess I will just have to just remove the triangle
and put a new one on it...😒😢😡😠😟---if i can find the same fabric--
or as Cathy says take all four off and replace them all....
No more marking pens for this gal....
Has this ever happened to any of you???
