It seems like I had so few blocks for so long and then all of a sudden a bunch of them came together over the weekend. I finally feel like I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.<\/p>\n<p>The blocks aren&#8217;t all straight strip blocks even though that was my original intention. There are chunks in some of them, because I couldn&#8217;t bear to toss strips I had trimmed. There are no rules, but I have been making a straight strip quilt first, then sometimes a block quilt made with chunks and then, finally, an improv quilt. Of course, it all depends on how many scraps I have.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-58689 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20230226_145344_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/20230226_145344_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pink color strip #11\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-58600\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-58600'>\n\t\t\t\tPink color strip #11\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20230301_204001_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230301_204001_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pink color strip #12\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-58637\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-58637'>\n\t\t\t\tPink color strip #12\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20230305_120051_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230305_120051_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pink color strip #13\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-58682\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-58682'>\n\t\t\t\tPink color strip #13\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20230305_163511_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230305_163511_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pink color strip #14\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20230305_171530_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230305_171530_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/20230305_182902_wm-sm\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/20230305_182902_wm-sm-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"Pink color strip #16\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-58685\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-58685'>\n\t\t\t\tPink color strip #16\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>While listening to an International Women&#8217;s Day seminar, I went through my scrap bin and pulled out more strips.
