This week in my sewing room has been all about bits and pieces.
I started off the week thinking about my String Star design -
I actually didn't plan to make any aqua blocks for this quilt, but it did need a few more purples, so I finished up making those. Now I have the eight purple blocks needed for the four corners of the star.
I also just counted up that I'll need 20 low volume string blocks for this plan, and I've only made one! Guess that would be something to work on next!
Meanwhile, since I seem to be making different 6 inch blocks in various colors, I decided to try a bow tie block. Here's an aqua one to add to my collection.
And then I added a purple bow tie to the mix, too.
I'm not sure where this collection of blocks is going, so I guess I'll just let it evolve and see what happens!
What have you been up to this week? I'm looking forward to finding out at Scrap Happy Saturday over at SoScrappy!

That's a fun collection of blocks!
Love your blocks, especially the bow tie! Yay for evolution! :)
Love your collection of blocks. Aqua and purple go so well together. It makes for a lovely picture. ;^)
I see you, you're the quilter who plans and takes great care with every block!
Most excellent collection of blocks. You go girl!
I love all your blocks! Those bowties are addicting, aren’t they? xo
Those string blocks are great. It will be a stunning quilt. The aqua bow tie is so pretty. Keep up the good work!
I LOVE (and totally relate to) the phrase "I seem to be making..." And again, I'm seeing purple and aqua together and thinking WOW! These two colours would make a terrific quilt, who knew. I just love the Zen Chic Modern Background Essentials; it is making regular appearances in my RSC2017 projects too!
Great bow ties! Such a pretty design you are working on - it will be a very pretty quilt.
I guess I've been up to no good this week! I haven't accomplished much. I will blame that on too much to do, to little time. I did so well last month! Maybe because in the back of my mind February is a short month, and I already feel like there's not enough time to finish everything! At any rate...
I'm loving your blocks! The string block quilt is going to be a stunner! I love the plan you drew up for it. I can't wait to see it all put together!
The blocks in the collection look great together.
Your Star is going to be gorgeous. Good luck on all those low volume blocks!
You are really doing well with your blocks. I think I would get so confused. Your blocks are so perfect and delicate.
How pretty and yes let them evolve :)
You have some lovely things in the works.
I'm a big fan of 'seeing what happens'! 8)
That string star is going to be gorgeous. I'm looking forward to watching it grow this year.
RSC has definitely taught me to go with the flow. But usually I still think in terms of grouping like blocks. But your display makes me think I should mix things up a bit.
The string blocks catch my eye -- looking forward to more :)
So many pretty blocks happening here. Everything looks so crisp and precise, nice photography.
I love all these blocks, so pretty & fresh looking!
I love that aqua bow tie! You've done well this week!
I love your aqua and purple blocks together, especially the bowtie!
The String Star is going to be fun to watch come together. You've got a good start on a fun collection of scrappy blocks.
