rryder is right on with playing with fabric. If you are a more structured quilter try mindless sewing of blocks. I love my mindless sewing of 9P's or 4P's. Since I save measured strips in bins it's easy to grab some lights and darks for contrast. If that's not right I will sew leftover HST cutoffs into squares. I have learned so much about color and design placement when doing this kind of work. The HST's can be made into shoofly bocks, pinwheels, broken dishes...... When I get 10 blocks sewn I pin them together and throw them into a clear jar.
This is a result of one of my "jar" quilts". I just finished a "jar" quilt using 2" squares in my 9P's and now filling a jar with 4P's made from 2" squares for a new quilt. Meanwhile my current big project is a "jar" quilt from house blocks.
A big mini!
This is a quick way to clean out some 1 1/2" strips. Great mindless sewing project.
