Two more -

 

 

Of these - 

 

For my Sakura Churn Dash - 

 

 

And two more of these -

 

For my PINK/ORANGE Squirrel -

 

For a total of four each -

 

And another two sets of these - 

 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Blushing Peonies -  

Made for a pretty productive sewing day -

Monday - the holiday and weekend are over - 

 

And it's back to reality and "chores" - 

So we'll see how much I can get done in the next few days - LOL - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew - 

Re-sort -

 

 

Today I sewed the first strata - 

 

For my Upstairs/Downstairs - Blushing Peonies - 

Moda's Blushing Peonies - Robin Pickens -

 

 

Then I decided to re-sort the rest of them - 

 

The GRAY ones were reading lighter than I originally thought -

 

So I wanted them to be the "bottom" strip on the strata -

 

And I wasn't all that thrilled with some of the combinations - 

After looking at them for a while - 

 

Sometimes thing have to "marinate" before they look good to me - LOL - 

 

So I took them all apart and started over - 

 

I re-sorted them by color - 

BLACK - GREEN - CORAL - GRAY/WHITE - 

 

And made five rows with seven in each row -

Only seven because I had already sewn the "eighth" one - 

 

And five rows of seven are the same as seven rows of five - LOL -  

Each one that is folded over has two identical strips -

Anyway - I had more GREEN than I needed -

So I added two to the middle row -

 

Then I started with the BLACK - made seven piles - 

Added a GREEN one to each pile - 

Then a third one - fourth one - and lastly a GREY/WHITE one - 

Total five in each pile - with doubles - so automatic matching "sets" - 

I tried to mix up the "stripes" and the "swirls" and "florals" so one strata wouldn't have two of the same "print" - but that wasn't possible in some cases - so I tried to put "another" print between two of the same - 

 

The fourth column has a BLACK/WHITE stripe and a CORAL stripe -

Separated by a GREEN -

 

The second column has a BLACK/WHITE stripe next to a GREEN/WHITE stripe -

But - oh, well - I tried - sometimes you just have to go with it - LOL - 

 

So - now they all re-sorted and ready to sew - 

 

Since I sew two strata at the same time - 

 

I keep "changing it up" - trying to find an "easier" way to sort them - 

 

And I think this is the easiest one I have come up with so far - 

 

 

And - after dinner - I sewed one more set of strata - 

 

So now I have two - LOL - 

 

 

 

I haven't pressed them yet but I usually leave that until the end - 

 

Maybe tomorrow I'll make more progress - 

We'll see - ;))

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
