Just A Sewing Fool
The other day I got out my batik scrap box and cut a bunch of 2.5 inch squares. I mean a bunch. Yesterday I paired them up and started chain piecing. Last night, while watching television, I cut and counted. Wow! There are 366 little pairs. I did not even stop for lunch.
They will become part of my next project, a sixteen patch - all scraps.

Well, there is an easier way (20" x 2 1/2"). Take (20" x 2 1/2") of red fabric, (20" x 2 1/2") of blue fabric, (20" x 2 1/2")of green fabric, (20" x 2 1/2") yellow fabric, (20" x 2 1/2"), pink fabric (20" x 2 1/2")" and then sew side by side and you will end of with a block and then cut the strips of by 2 1/2" and you will end up with 8 strips with all the colors in this bunch and then next another bunch (rather than sewing them all 2 1/2" one by one). Just a suggestion.

You inspire me to start cutting my scraps. 2 1/2" is the smallest I'll consider. A sewing fool? I have housework to do, a slipcover to make and a dog to walk, but my son's quilt is so close to having all the rows built that I can't stop.
