A New Start!

In the middle of cutting out binding strips for my Pink String quilt, I decided to start work on a project that has been patiently waiting for a few years.  It is called "Reminiscense" by The Rabbit Factory  It's a big project that requires lots of piecing and lots of applique....lots of applique!  The first step is to construct 175 -3 inch nine patch blocks and then add four half square triangles to each of those nine patches.  That makes 700 HSTs!  That is what I have been doing for the past week.  Just finished making them tonight and now I have to sew them all together to make sashing units.
Once that is complete I will start on the applique  I will be using the back-basting method of applique.  Here's a pic of the chain piecing of the nine patches.
Oh yeah, I still don't have the binding sewn on my Pink String quilt!
