Sometimes I just play. It seems to start with a frustrated clean up around my sewing room. But, then, it is so fun that I start wandering from little project to little project. I have been really concentrating on finishing ufos this year with an emphasis on emptying my 'to be quilted' closet. I haven't just played with scrap pieces.
I found a baggy of of 2 1/2 inch squares in sewn sets of 2.
I hadn't sewn any shirt snails trail in a while, so I started 5 more.
I found enough scraps to make 2 5 1/2 inch monkey wrench blocks from odd colors. And 2 little beauty baskets.
The room is still a mess, but, I had a few moments of soothing piecing. I am pondering next year and how to downsize my quilting stash. I like to piece, but, I don't really need to start anything new. Yet, I miss the enthusiasm of a new project. Luckily, I still have ufos that will be interesting.

Sometimes it's just fun to play. I'm making 4 patches also!
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising what "just a little" play turns out to be!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had lots of fun
ReplyDeletePiecing is my favorite thing too. It's hard to just focus on UFOs, sometimes you just have to add in a new project or two. But that does make it hard to clean up the UFO list.
