Working on the mojo. Don't you feel sometimes like if you just cleaned out a kitchen drawer or the bathroom closet or SOMETHING that you feel a little more in control? I get that with my stash. There are so many small pieces that just can't be scraps yet but are just...small. But I'm tired of moving them around. What I discovered is I really, really like pairing things that are just weird by themselves.
I decided to take those on in two colors. The nine patches are mostly greenish and the sawtooth stars are mostly blueish. And then put them together. The placement is not finished but the rows are put together because I decided it didn't matter about placement. I am most decidedly NOT that kind of fussy. Scrappy is scrappy. It's in the name. As I walk past this I smile so it seems to be working for me. I have sawtooth star blocks for two more rows and then I have a decision to make. Bigger or move on? Who knows?
I am so overwhelmed by my stash. Pairing two colors together is a great way to make a start. Your new start tells a story. I like it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great idea - pick 2 colours and deal with them only.
ReplyDeleteThat is pretty! My stash is much the same and I need to just dig in and start something. But then life happens or I talk myself out of another top I don't need or or or... Maybe the return of cooler weather will help? (I'm not convinced it's here to stay, but I'm also not complaining!)
