| 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!

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.

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!

Wonderful strings blocks in those moody blues and greys, Terri. You are making them so fast. I can only stitch two or three and it tires me. Meanwhile, I also love these pretty pieced blocks of yours. Don't they look beautiful together on the wall! Happy Stitching from me!!
Your Maven blocks are so pretty!
I don't remember Bonnie's original colors for Grassy Creek, but I sure like yours, Terry! The gray and blue strings will be a nice contrast with the brighter oranges and greens in the star blocks. Too bad about the need for time with the ripper, but I agree, time with friends more than makes up for that!
Those blocks look great. I can't wait to see the quilt come together!
I like the idea of dedicating a certain amount of time each month to a project. Grassy Creek looks amazing, Terry. You have an eye for color. Warm hugs.
Love both the string blocks and the pieced blocks!!!
You did great progress on this one. I so love the colours in your blocks. Enjoy! ;^)
It's nice to be prepared for the next string blocks, the ones you made already are beautiful, a great mix of neutral colors! Love the stars too, yep talking with friends can be a bit distracting, but so worth it! Thank you for sharing your work in progress and linking up.
ohh those string blocks are lovely - as are the rest of them - this one will be great
