critical stage

this is my shoebox full of 1.5" strips.  the time has come for a decision.  either i get a larger tote OR i start using these strips.   i could cut some of them up for inchies of course.  have to think about it....meanwhile, it's coooool here in coastal maine, low 60s.  a day without the hum of fans or air conditioners.  cloudy too, but i hear summer is coming back for the weekend.

  1. Do you have a place for a bigger tote? That would do a lot to influence my decision!

  2. Oh, don't get a larger box!

    And I wouldn't cut them any smaller before sewing strips together. You can always cut after sewing "strata". Seams are easier when they are longer, I think. Then you can decide if you want 1.5" strips, which will look like "inchies", or you can decide to make them into small Rail Fence blocks, or scrappy 9-patch sub-units, or what-you-will!
