Design Wall Monday

I worked most of this week on my Pineapple Nine Patch quilt along.  We need to make over 150 tri recs units.  I got them completed.  Since I met with a group Friday night and needed a quick project to take with me, I continue cutting on the next two steps.  I sewed a few of the upcoming steps so I could see how the design would look.

Then, I started putting away supplies around the house as I host Labor Day for my family and friends.  Over 6 months ago, I cut three fat quarters to make HSTs with an accent strip using Sharon Schamber's method.  My mistake was that I cut 1.5" strips for 1" finished HSTs, not thinking how tiny that would be with an accent strip.  So, after sewing just a few, I quickly lost interest.  Had I cut them at least 2.5" it would have been doable.  I like the end result though and will try the method when I actually have a project in mind.  I wanted to get these strips off my storage room floor so I sewed them together.  I have lost some of the strips since I cut them and this is what I ended up with.  I'll store these and make HSTs if needed for a future project.  Or, maybe I'll cut them into strips and use them in a quilt border; or maybe cut some designs from one of my Go! Cutter dies.  Well see...
