Second phase - pieced blocks...

So, the girls are all finished. Now for the pieced blocks!

I used the strip method to make the strings, then cut into smaller pieces. Still have to join these together but it's a pretty good indication of how they will look together. Not bad at all, in my opinion! I have not used this method before, as normally my blocks are pieced. I have to say my opinion has changed DRAMATICALLY!! I always thought that "plain" pieced blocks were boring, but there are so many ideas floating through my head using thus technique. Just hope my accuracy is up to the task! I soooo need to get a proper quilting ruler......

A little taste of what is to come!!
