Woo Hoo!!

I finally got the additional blocks done and attached to the charity quilt that was hanging on my design wall TOO LONG.  Backing has been pieced and binding made - now I just need to load it onto Mo'e.
Since I finished that, I went on to work on my other charity quilt that I'm doing as a quilt along with crazy mom quilts.  I did the string pieces a little differently than she did ( is doing); I use phone book pages for foundation piecing - it just works easier for me.  Tonight, I started trimming the string blocks from 5"x 9" roughly down to 4.5"x8.5" and took the green fabric that was left over from the previous charity quilt and it's backing to cut into 8.5" squares.. I need 12 total... got 4 of one fabric and 8 of the other.  Then I had to go digging for cornerstone fabric - ended up with blue and it's going to be several shades because I'm digging into my personal stash for the solids that I need.

Here's what I have so far... this is not the way they'll be when I'm done - I just wanted them up on the design wall where I could see them.

I have a feeling that there should be sashing between the blocks... I have to go back to her blog to check; I don't think they look right butted up to each other.

Ok, that's it for tonight... tomorrow, I'll probably trace the next block for my June UFO - only two left -- wheeee!!
