Gorgeous stuff there Snooze, I love the richness of the colors.

I am still between projects. I think I'm leaning towards some paper piecing. I have that bag of now-fixed hand dyes, I got that basic black as my one new fabric purchase this year, and I have the rare time of actually wanting to follow someone else's design, and I have needs to improve my paper piecing skills. Not sure how far I got playing with it after the Frolic project and the start of the Plague, might have to go make some copies but hey, I've got masks and gloves and the office supply store is open.

The big goal is to get working again on my Barn/Harvest/Month of August project going. I stalled out last time because I thought I'd get the hardest of the paper piecing done first and it didn't go so well. Only myself to blame!

I also have another idea for a project tucked away. For those of you who know the "fold the paper/don't sew through it" technique, you might know it. Two cute Panda bears. Last year I bought a big bag of souvenir fabric from someone's Indonesian trip with batiks and all sorts of lovely things in it at the thrift store. One of those things is a pretty garishly (but cute) printed children's design of large pandas with bamboo on a bright red background that I think would make cool alternate squares. Basically the same thing I did with those LeMoyne stars, 6 panda blocks and spread out with the panda fabric. It would still need some sort of red/white/black border or two.

So I'm going to get off the computer and go play with some fabric, something will insist on being used -- even if it isn't on my radar yet.
