I started on the mitered log cabin blocks. Got all the strips cut and dove into my own scrap bin to disassemble it into many strips. BTW - every off cut will come with me to Pismo Beach for my friend Joann who works with leaders and enders too. I started cutting a scrap piece for her from all of my pieces and now she will have some of yours as well. Share and share alike!
Next order of business was sorting all the strips into colors - then order them light to dark. Lastly I pulled out sets of 8 and clipped them together. So far I have 81 sets. I was able to copy the pattern at work today onto newsprint. It was very difficult printing on the home printer. Kept jamming. Now to sew them all down. It's a bit tedious. I should use it as a filler job but that doesn't seem to work either. Wonder how it will turn out with all those colors - a true scrapper.
