Squirrel??

It shouldn't surprise anybody (certainly not my regular readers) that Julie and I influence each other. She is now making a pinkish version of the Deco quilt and I have been cutting up my scraps into rectangles like her Macnas quilts. 

I have a big bin in my studio that has scraps of light fabrics. Some leftover backing bits, some pieces that

are too small to go back on the shelf and some that got thrown in because I couldn't figure out where else to put them.

I saw the lovely collection that Julie is making and when I looked at this bin, I knew there had to be a quilt or two or three in there.

So knowing the wicked hot heat was coming, and that simply having the iron on heats up the studio, I dug some pieces out of the box and ironed them before bed the other night. I planned to cut them up in the morning.

The result was the picture at the top of this post. I had a stack almost six inches tall. Woo hoo!

Thus motivated, I prepared another stack of fabric for the next day. Not as big as the first, but still pretty good.

On the THIRD day, I cut a stack of fabric almost SIX and a half inches tall.

And this is just the LIGHTS bin. I have other bins. And sadly, or not, depending on your viewpoint, the Lights bin is not anywhere close to being empty.

So here are all my pieces more or less organized by color. I have resolved not to begin to plan to sew any of them together until I have gone through the entire LIGHTS bin. Already I have some ideas.
