Red Strings--A Little Late--post 4

Red Strings
Angela chose red as the Rainbow Scrap Challenge (RSC) color last month. I was out of town so I didn't get more than piecing the red portions of the block sewn. Usually, I remember to photograph the string bag before I begin; but, I forgot. I'll blame jet lag on the omission! 

Rectangles and leftovers 
I did remember to photograph the bag after I had pieced all of the rectangles. That bag was stuffed before I began! Previously, I pieced the entire rectangle. This time I pieced the red section of all the rectangles. Then I pieced the black and gray corners. Piecing this way created less of a mess. 

Blue, red and green blocks
When I had four blocks completely pieced, I was curious what the blocks would look like together. I put four green and four blue blocks on the design wall. I liked the layout of four blocks in a color way. I wondered what more blocks would look like. I added the remaining blocks to the design wall.

All the blocks
Gertie, my inner squirrel, likes the plan. She wants me to sew four blocks of each color together. I agree with her! Eventually, I'll stitch the blocks. First, I want to catch up with pink as that is the color Angela has chosen as the RSC color for April.

Oh, Gertie is on target! I love the layout. Isn’t it amazing what interest layout can be done with string blocks? Piecing squares, rectangles, triangles and even with rectangles and triangles you can elongate them and color ways….so many options!
