Grassy Creek clue 7--post 6

Available strings
Goal number four on my July list was to work on Grassy Creek at least twice. Sunday, I spent the day piecing more string blocks. By the end of the day, I had pieced and trimmed a dozen more blocks. Most of the available strings became blocks!

String blocks
I did cut and mark more more foundation papers so that the next time I work on this project, I will be closer to stitching. The following day, I cut a whole bunch more strings from the gray fabrics I had gathered for this project!

More strings cut and ready for more blocks
Because Monday was our in person Mavens sew day, I loaded my supplies to stitch more blocks for this project. Last month at Mavens, I stitched the center of the blocks together. At Mavens, I stitched seven blocks.

Blocks sewn so far
I pressed the blocks yesterday and discovered that I had mis-sewn a pair. Jack and I had a date. I corrected the error. Stuff like that happens while giggling and visiting with my in person friends; but, I don't mind the date with Jack. Times with friends is precious. At any rate, I have eight finished blocks!

I might work on this project one more day this month. If I don't, I still feel good that I've moved the project forward a little bit! At the rate I'm going, I might have the blocks finished by October!
