This afternoon, while I was trying to pretend that I thought my noisy little boys were actually taking a nap, I played with strings.



Yes, I've already got a scary number of UFOs, but I wanted to play with something that didn't matter. And I was pleasantly surprised when I laid the blocks out on the floor to see if I had a disaster or the beginning of a baby blanket.

There are several more big pieces of solid fabric in my sewing room, so this may be the first in a batch of baby quilts.
