Sneaking in some stripping!

Yes this is what Sarah asked us to do as Queen Bee in the Modern Stitching Bee.  She loves a strip pieced spider web so that's why I've been stripping!

I haven't done any of that since last August when I eventually finished this quilt



That was a lot of stripping mind you so maybe it is not surprising I haven't done more!
So it is a bit like going back to the beginning to remember it all but it does come back and I did finish two spiderweb blocks, with bright, light fabrics, selvedges, dots, stripes, and text fabrics as requested!  I have put in some of my favourites - some new, some not so new, even some Oakshott!  And not one bit of batik or marbled fabric - tempting as that was (not really)!

Just hope she likes them and I can send them off to Shetland...they have quite a long way to go possibly by snail?!
