Then I moved on to sandwiching (is that a word) the string pieced project I started in January and finished in May (gasp May FNSI) -- I picked up some heavyweight flannel at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 a yard and used it to face rather than a batt and backing....it's pretty heavy and well I thought this would be less work (wrong again) ... I foundation pieced the strings because I hadn't read this (String Quilt Tutorial) spiffy tutorial.
So I'm up and ready for another day at the always entertaining St. Peter Farmer's Market -- I'm hoping it is my last day at the Market -- 50 pumpkins, 6 bushel of winter squash and I'm outta there for the year !!!!
Here is the link to the rest of the FNSI participants -- enjoy the show and many thanks to the ladies for hosting and the treats!!! Click HERE NOT THE BUTTON

Those strippy quilts will surly brighten your office windows and help keep you warn.
Oh NO!! not foundation piecing for strippy blocks. I just sew them straight onto Wadding and backing. the QAYG method.
Love the fabrics in the quilts you are making. Beautiful!
One year I picked and sold several truck fulls of sweet corn at our local farmer's market. It was quite the experience. Best wishes as you finish up the harvest:)
Beautiful sewing!! I'm loving those window quilts!
