switching gears


i've been spending most of my sewing time with scraps, lagging in UFO finishes.  pulled out this small piece to quilt and then get back to s'mores.  it's advent sky and plan is to gift when done.  

when sorting thru the 2" strip shoebox found that more than half weren't long enough for my blocks...say what???  so clearing out won't happen unless i use them to make a whole lotta foursies.  


i did cut up the usable strips into block sets ready to sew...pitiful amount but scrap basket at the ready to raid for more.


and if you forgot, here is what the finished blocks look like.  finish at 6" so will need 120 for a decent size top.  well begun is half done, so back at the machine today after a couple of days with appointments.  medical stuff done for the month!


very foggy and (again) dreary day but signs of spring everywhere so pretty soon better days.  laundry on tap and a bit of cooking, then some exercise will fill the day.  glass is more than half full with blessings all around.  hoping you feel the same!
