Today I got the strips for the baby quilt all cut. I decided to stack the greens (3-4 at a time) to cut them. That gave me enough strips for 3 extra blocks. I thought it made more sense to save the time rather than cutting all the strips individually. I'll find a use for the extra blocks.
I did cut the strips for the sky and ocean individually.
I had time to sew the 3 sky and 3 ocean blocks. I really like them. There are repeating blues in the sky. I didn't have enough pale blues to make them all different.
I also sorted the low volume green strips into blocks. I used 9 green fabrics, the number of strips in each block, so there are no repeats in any given block. I put them up on the design wall so I see them all and check for duplicates.
I also put the pieces with animals and objects in their places in the blocks.
I think I'll be able to get the quilt top finished up in the next couple days.
Once the strips are cut, it goes together quickly.
