I should get a day off more often, I get a lot accomplished! After finishing the Heartstrings blocks, I noticed my blue nine patch quilt hanging on the rocking chair. Since it hasn't turned out to be quite what I envisioned, I've decided to call it done...and use the quilt as an opportunity to continue with Judy's February Challenge. Three yards of blue fabric was pulled from my stash and it became the borders and binding for the quilt. I even have the binding made and ready to go on! 
Then I pulled this incredibly soft flannel from my stash...5 yards worth and plenty for the back! So, that will be my third piece of fabric pulled from the stash for the challenge. Now I have to get this quilt and my sunflower quilt done by the end of the month so they will count!I have Monday off for President's Day...wonder what I can do then???

It looks great. For some reason I often shy away from blues, but I really like it.
Hi Carolyn - thanks for the visit to my blog. I've not been at your place before - my loss!
Whoopee -- a snow day for you, but it's going to be a bugger getting out in that snow for a while.
Don't you just love those string blocks? What a great way to use up scraps.
I think that the 9 patch is such a classic pattern - your finished version, even if it isn't what you envisioned - looks great!
Cheers!

Your blue quilt looks great- I realize reading what you said that I haven't used a lot of blue either, mine are mostly brownish tones, which is odd since if you asked I would say that like blue better.
Your nine patch quilt is lovely and your string blocks looks very good. Your new books looks interesting.
The nine patch look lovely. Sometimes we are just too critical with our work. I like the small blocks on your design wall too!
