Okay, here is my "mindless" project after the silk quilt. I can never just do anything easy. I am determined to use all stash on this. I got this collection a couple years ago for I don't know what. It had the panel of the animals and then 1/2 yard cuts of all the others. I cut 2 1/2" strips for the rail fence. Now comes the border and backing. Should I do a scrappy border of the 2 1/2" strips? Or should I use some of the ugly tan or brown? And I have never done a scrappy backing; how should I cut up the fabric for a scrappy backing? Why can't I just sew a bunch of strips together and let it go at that? Me....nah.... :roll:
