Moira - starts, finishes, and a mess

I was at a retreat all weekend so not a lot of stitching happened over the weekend.  But I did get the binding and hanging sleeve sewn down on this wall hanging.   All the pattern pieces have been scanned for this, so now I can get the pattern written for it.

I've started the next commission - 5 pillow covers for a friend.  4 at 27" square (finished) and this one at 20" wide by 15" tall.    I'm making these envelope style so making them is easy........cutting the pieces was a pain because my cutting table isn't wide enough!







Made these three string blocks to use up a stack of small scraps.  They will finish at 10".  Will be appliqueing flowers on top of them. 

And as I get ready to move of course I have to pack.   I had two big bins of scraps that I had not put away for several months.   Here's a couple of pics after I sorted them by color in preparation to putting them away in ziploc bags and then into totes.

The blues fill a 2 gallon bag (those are 9-10" stacks!).  And nope these won't all fit in my two totes.   Need to make more scrap quilts!  The scraps are sorted by color & theme.  Bottom pic shows a pile of orphan blocks/block parts, solid scraps, and some WOW's, leftover bindings, and a pile of strings that I have plans for.
