Stringing Along Again

This evening, after my walk, I decided to work on some more string-pieced blocks.

I made six blocks, again working on my Singer 338.  Not a lot, but more than I started with, right!?

The funny thing is, as I pull the string pieces out of my bin, the amount in the bin seems to be growing rather than shrinking!  How does fabric DO that?

I have a feeling I could make a hundred of these blocks and it would barely put a dent in my string stash!
