#scrappytripalong

it's gone viral on Instagram, 

if you want to follow my drivel over there i am trudi_wood

(same on twitter)

so back to #sccrappytripalong - pattern is here

flickr group is here

so i raided my 2 1/2" strips, pulled all the pretty Amy Butler ones and some other lovelies 

and soon had a pretty block for my efforts

and then there were 8 ...

and after returning to work, and going out and doing a couple of hours each night, 

then there were 16

at which point the pretties had all but run out and I turned to my stash,

and calculated how many more strips I needed for another 20 blocks,

and cut, and cut, and cut ...

and unusually, refolded and returned said stash to the pantry, all nice and neat!

(no I don't think I was feeling quite myself!)

and soon there were all 36 blocks done!

so yesterday I laid them out ...

and after an afternoon of gentle piecing went in search of backing

seems I had just the right amount of this Pure by Sweetwater for Moda

so I loaded it up before I changed my mind and saved it for something else!

and whilst the momentum was still with me ...

got that baby quilted!

and before retiring for the night, I went back to the pantry, pulled a few potential bindings, made a decision and cut, ready for a little more sewing action this morning!

I started this a week ago, and seems I could have another finish for you very soon!

And then, perhaps I can get back to what I should have been doing all this time!

I need to get my list together for the Finish Along that is being hosted by Leanne this year!

Perhaps this will keep me more on track, and get that startitis back under control!
