Scraps

I’ve been working on cutting up some scraps. Some of my friends are not big fans of scrappy quilts, and they occasionally drop their scraps off at my shop. I don’t know if you can tell from the picture, but this is a huge tote. 

I also found a bunch of these in the tote:

I called and asked her if she wanted them, and she said to throw them away. I didn’t. LOL. I have a 2.5” template that fit on the masks 

so I cut out a bunch of squares.

I added all these to my 2.5” squares box. It was definitely worth the effort—at least I think so. 

I’m trying to find something to work on that will inspire and energize me. I have been working on cutting up this project.

My goal is to get it all cut up, and then I can just sit down and sew. At least, that’s a plan. The cutting is going pretty slow, but I’m getting there. I also took out a Villa Rosa kit that won’t take long to cut in case I can’t get any traction on the first one.

The plan for today is to get a customer quilt done, plus two more trimmed, and if there’s time left, I’ll cut some more 5” and 10” squares from the scraps. Yesterday, I was at the hospital for several hours. I had an appointment for a Doppler MRI on my leg. It has been bothering me, and the doctor thinks it’s nothing serious, but wanted me to do the test to make sure. There was a long wait at the imaging center, but the test didn’t show anything of concern, so that’s good news. Now that I’ve been cleared, I can get back to walking and exercising. I think that will have a positive effect on my mood more than anything else.
