22 February 2018....Progress!

And the backing for the Fussy Crumb Bird Block Flimsy is done!
And it's all squared up and ready to go.  Yes, it's a mishmash of 6 1/2" squares and strips.  Wish I could claim the polka dot stash is gone - but alas, not even close.  Yet, when I started I could have sworn this would have done the trick....

                                                                 

Certainly is large enough (83" x 83").... 

Waiting for the packaged batting to arrive....lovely online purchase that didn't break the bank.  One of these days I will venture into using fleece as a backing.  Certainly more economical.

And while waiting.....  6 1/2" blocks become joined into one nice big block.

And one block becomes two...and then two becomes three.....

Even a few minutes a day can result in a wonderful word I like to call "Progress".

String blocks.  Something about them just stirs my soul and brings out a great smile no matter how dark and dreary life can get at times.  Along with my prayers and talks with Jesus....yes, even out loud.  Cannot live on quilting alone.....
