Dancing the Night Away

I have several projects on the slow boil
and a quilt on the Longarm waiting for attention,
but I find myself so easily distracted 
by small and relatively quick projects 
using blocks and orphans in my stash.

I noticed Bonnie Hunter had a wonderful free pattern 
In my 2 inch strip box, I had some orphan braid strips
given to me by a lovely fellow quilter.
(Thanks Chris!)

So....
I chopped the strips up into 8" blocks 
(that meant I could just get 16 blocks!
Well, 16 with a one joined.)

And set them using Bonnie's dancing block method:
Now for borders, when I'm not distracted again...

I did however, put borders on this one....
I think border inspiration came 
from the Criss Cross Applesauce pattern
(again Bonnie).

I really must try and crack on with some old UFOs now
and stop making new ones!!
