Tldr: making progress on pieced back and I get philosophical about fabric.

I had to UFO this quilt for a week. I finished the front and am working on a pieced back which a YouTuber I enjoy calls The AfterQuilt. The idea is a pure improv exercise that you use up your scraps. I got a few blocks created and was then getting frustrated with how to put these crazy sized blocks together. I knew it needed a time out and my brain needed a break so I put it away for a week or so. Took it out again last night and was surprised that the solution was right there in front of me. Bing-bing-Bing. And its almost done. Just need to add the rest of the large pieces to bring it to size.

It just goes to show me, sometimes you a break from that project. Your brain is tired. Let it sit over here for a bit and you will see the answers to your questions....later.

The second thing that has surprised me with this project is how much fabric there was in the scrap pile once I sewed it all together! Its almost 2\3 of the top itself. I'm not one of those crazy crumb quilters so this is not tiny pieces. Some strips from this project and others from scrap bin in the same color family. Loose ends. Loose blocks. Some unused fabric.

Not just about the.money because it took time to sew it all together and we all know time is money. But each piece was an opportunity. I chose what to make of each opportunity. Food for thought. Hopefully this will finish this soon. All of this.
