I knew as soon as I saw your ingenious method of sewing the strings that’s exactly what I was opting for (I had been dreading sewing ALL those strings on ALL those papers – Ugh!) Sorry, no offense to those who enjoy that type of piecing, but it isn’t for me w/too much fabric, too little time to make all those quilts – I ALWAYS prefer the most efficient/fastest method, if possible. Thanks to you, I am finishing up sewing my blue strips/strings together and will be ready to cut apart soon - any tips/precautions before I make the first cut?<br /><br />I will definitely be following your lead as this is also my first Mystery Quilt w/Bonnie, (I have all her books and the reason for my original interest ;-). I really enjoyed your blog and spent a little bit of time there (hope to have time to spend more when I get caught up), and even shared a few pictures with the hubs. You and your sister(?) have some beautiful quilts, Oh MY! (And your guys haven’t done too shabbily with their deer hunting, either - what amazing pictures!)<br /><br />So glad you took the time to stop by and I’ll look up your sister as well! You have a very lovely family and I so admire your sewing/quilting talent. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing,<br />Deb~Deb Lindleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02951551094712059810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8859109142119053321.post-31371527658369188702011-11-29T22:01:50.404-05:002011-11-29T22:01:50.404-05:00Hi Deb, how pleasantly surprised I was to see you ...Hi Deb, how pleasantly surprised I was to see you enjoyed the way I made my little 3 1/2 inch squares. This is the first time I have joined in on one of Bonnie's mystery quilts. I'm loving it! My sister Julia from Mississippi is also doing one. She is #100 on this Monday's linky link. I will enjoy following your progress. ~PollythePatchworker~PollythePatchworkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740789873312341894noreply@blogger.com
