hugggggs Sharon, great to hear from you.. My mystery quilt is the UFO of the month for February slated for finishing. LOL The only way I'm ever going to get past those dang apples.
Smilessssss...

@ followers of my thread: Fibro reared it's ugly head so sewing today was cut short and I'm having a close encounter with my heating pad. I got some things done, but didn't make it to the pressing stage. Hopefully will get back to it tomorrow.
This is one of the great things about quilting; it's always there waiting for you when you have to walk away for a while.

Fun idea. Sounds like the next few days will be good ones to stay inside and sew. Hope we don't lose electricity.
Best wishes for your sister

Thank you wildyard, this is very interesting to me as I have a LOT of scraps. Am I right in assuming that you didn't cut them at all, just used them as they were? Prayers going up for your sister and you.

My sis-in-law recently gave me a shoebox of her scraps that were not trimmed, but were some of them in kind of wonky shapes which I kept and used that way.
Also, I have pulled some fabrics from my regular stash which I cut into strips of various widths for I'll need longer pieces as the squares grow. Plus, I am going to make some 9P blocks so I had to cut strips for those.
Also, I have my scissors handy and snip and trim as needed to fit things where I want them.
Smiles and huggggggggs
