I am still working away on my chevron strings each morning. I still like working with the solids. I believe I need 6 rows of bars going left and 5 rows of bars facing right. I have about 5 rows of the facing left done so far. This quilt is in Gwen Marston’s Liberated String Piecing book. I am definitely loving this book. I just have to throw in a picture of my little buddy Bullvye.
I was sitting at my machine this morning and looked over at him and decided to snap a picture of him being lazy. He looks so sad in this picture. Tomorrow my big plan is to get some hand appliqué done on my River quilt so I can move on to the lettering. And I also need to get the binding stitched down on my Hugs and Kisses quilt. I hope there are some good old movies on!

Yousr strings look like men's fancy ties. If Bullvye could talk-- think of the quilt stories he could tell*S*
Beautiful strings ! I love solids, too, so simple, elegant and effective at the same time !
I still don't know Gwen Marston's book, but I've heard so many positive comment about it, that I've put it on my wishlist.
Beautiful picture of your buddy, too ! (and I like the bears paw block designed on the ground.Did you doit yourself ? Nice idea !)
Smiles !

I love your solid color strings. I certainly am going to have to do this! And Bullvye is so cute!
screendoor and I had the same thought - the chevron stripes look like men's ties. I love them with the solid fabric.
Bullvye does look sad, but I bet he was happy you were with him.
What a sweet face!
Love your chevron strings, Laura! They are so rich in color.
My goodness -- you have quilt blocks painted on your deck/porch? How clever!
I was wanting to do my garage door in one huge block but DH was not keen on it.
What a great collection of solids you have there - the strings are looking great. Bullvye should come over and play with Harper. I get the same looks from her . . . get away from that machine and come play with me *s*
Sweet boy! The chevrons are looking very good!
