A while back I had cut up a ton of my fabric into 2.5" strips-borrowed a friends Go! and went to town one weekend. I'd been happily sewing my strips until I got to a point that I didn't have anything to go with what I had left and I was dreading looking at my basket of strips.
A friend forced a large bag of more strips on me the last time I visited and I was dreading adding more to my pile ...but to my great surprise it was exactly the colors I needed to work with what I had left. Yeah! I'm spending the evening sewing my strips again and being happy.
