Do you ever find yourself stuck on doing one task? Lately (about a month now) I have been stuck on sewing small pieces of fabric scraps together until I have large pieces. Then I cut from those. I have done enough squares for a small lap quilt (haven't put it together yet), a round table topper with 8 matching place mats, and now just sewing scrap pieces together with no plan in mind....just want to keep sewing scrap pieces together! I have so many other projects to finish, but this just 'calls' to me! What's up?

Yes, that is my stress breaker......nothing planned, just grab scraps, sew together....for me the monotony of the needle going up/down sort of slows my brain down and calms me....and when I have a stack of colorful squares with no planned design...I feel satisfied...sort of controlling the chaos life sometimes throws at one......I can then walk away and be happy----that's just me

It seems to be more productive than playing solitaire!

I am currently cutting scraps and sewing a scrap pattern into blocks. It's a no brainier and I find it very relaxing.

I agree - I had to break my addiction to sewing scraps to calculator paper!! Started it while healing from hand surgery ---- it was so relaxing and so rewarding seeing those strips pile up....but i had other projects i wanted to work on so had to stop. I'll be back to it for sure the next time i need a calming therapy break.

I am stuck on scrap quilts, mainly strings, because I have tons of scraps (lucky they are my favorite type of quilt) and limited budget for new yardage.

I rotate between projects. If I want to piece, that is what I do and if I feel like quilting, then I do that. It is much more enjoyable to do what you feel like doing. No deadlines for me anymore.

I agree 100%!

Yes, I am stuck working on tiny pieces also. There is something relaxing about not having to think about it, just sew.
