This was a good combination of sewing since the Swoon block took lots of attention and patience, and the String Beans blocks are like eating potato chips - you can't stop at one!
String Beans is a new pattern by Loft Creations. My plan for this quilt includes polka dots, checks, plaids and stripes - yikes! I'm going to do 45 blocks - 5 rows of 9 - with that dotty yellow as the sashing and the border.
And this is my latest Swoon block with the Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I'm liking this one too!
So the sewing for last week was pretty productive. Now I still haven't started the snowman wallhanging I want to do, or my Schnibble for this month. Oh well, hopefully this week will have some quality sewing time for me and for you!
Happy stitching-

Your string beans are going to have a cool secondary pattern with that sashing. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteString beans! How FUN! Great design!
ReplyDeleteI had not seen "string beans" before. Very cute! Now I want to make some! Toni
ReplyDeleteSew fun to see all these colorful blocks!
ReplyDeleteYour Swoon blocks are gorgeous!!! I love seeing the new ones. Perhaps you could eat a bag of potato chips while making String Beans blocks??? I'm so happy you're enjoying them.
ReplyDeleteLove the Swoon block--yummy! So are your string beans. I just bought this pattern from Stephanie too and plan to do a scrappy theme like you. The dots are to die for!
ReplyDeleteI just love all these blocks - both the swoon and the string beans. It's so exciting over here on your blog! LOL!! I just love that Kaffe Fassett fabric! I'm just going to have to break down and buy some!
ReplyDeleteI'm Swooning over your String Beans, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks!! Ya know seeing the two blocks on the wall together, the String Bean blocks would make a really cool looking border for a quilt.....
