A Little Tiny Roll

This is my latest distraction. I am finally starting to make some blocks for Bonnie Hunter's "Roll, Roll Cotton Boll" quilt from last fall. I decided to start with the string blocks and see where that leads. I got out my big scrap bin and began digging for lights. The worst part of this process is the pressing!! Believe it or not, the top actually fits on this! But as soon as I started looking for strings, it started growing LOL!
I've got 14 done - not too bad. It's amazing to me that this old fabric looks so good done up in strings. And using Bonnie's suggestion of phone book paper worked like a dream. I made sure it was an old one so the ink wouldn't come off, but because the pages are so thin, it tore off really easily. So this is my start, my tiny little roll.
It's off to work for me, hope you all had a great weekend. I know there was some bad weather, but it was glorious here in Northwest Florida.

Until next time,

-Karen
