Working on Grassy Creek in November.

 This is last year’s mystery quilt sew-along with Bonnie Hunter.   I was torn between using whole pieces of grays for the sashing bits, but I thought, why not go with string piecing?   I had plenty of bits and pieces of a variety of grays from other sewing projects and guess what?   I used them up!  This is a good feeling. I purchased more and am currently sewing up the last 20 for the sashing.  I have 3 rows sewn with the last two sets of blocks waiting to be joined.  I’ m looking forward to sewing the borders of more strip piecing!   I know I won’t finish in time before this year’s mystery begins, but I’ll still join.  I’m digging through my stash and it looks like I’ll have to purchase more turquoise teal.  On to the fabric store, whoo hoo!

Here’s my Grassy Creek in the soon to be flimsy stage.
