Default Can not get sewing lately -so I have been

cleaning and sorting fabric. Everything that was less than 2 yds is now cut into 2.5 inch strips.That way I can make log cabin blocks when I get my mojo back.

I liked seeing the strips stacked up and ready to be used in a project. It inspires me to stack my strips. By stacking them I will be getting ready to make a log cabin when the inspiration hits me---usually in the middle of the night when I have so many other projects going at the same time, and I am not particularly wanting to be in the design mode --- the stacked strips was just totally inspirational.....I plan to do this during times when I am stuck in a no-sewing mode, too, and yet I am wanting to be handling "color" and "patterns" and "textiles"..... this was a good post!!

The important thing is you are still thinking of the quilting process and have your hands on the fabric. Time well spent!
