Less Sniffles... More Strings

I had a late night sewing session last night (fueled by a late afternoon cold induced nap) and this is what I see in my laundry room aka "Land of Strings" this morning...
Every surface is coated with strings! LOL 

Plus, it's spreading to the family room table with Heartstrings blocks ready for trimming once I clear my cutting table.
And the family room floor aka Design Wall.  I remembered I have a UFO on my list for this quarter that needed some more blocks so I did a quick layout and made 10 more 7.5" blocks while I had my strings out. Pardon the welcome bright sun that is taking out my bottom corner!
I've even got strings hanging in the closet!
Wouldn't you think after making 40 blocks and all of the strings you see hanging or laying about that my string bin would look emptier than this?
It's crazy!  I'd better get back to sewing so I can do laundry later...  I'm feeling so much better which makes me extra happy on this bright sunny day.

    You can have fun with strings all summer I think. Good for you - having the strings cut and ready to use. All of the stacks of blocks show just how much you have already got done.

    Having just been working on a string quilt, no, I'm not surprised to see that you still have strings left! Your quilt blocks are wonderful. =)

    Strings everywhere, but looking their best as blocks on their way to being a quilt :) Love all the scrappy fun.

    looking great! and Yes I too think that strings multiply tenfold. I seem to have more when I use them up than when I opened my scrap bin or bag. go figure!

    Looks like you're having fun! I love your lilacs, too. Do they attract bees?
