Cut It Up !! and Finished ( or not) Friday

 A Group of us had a Cut! it! Up! Challenge.

We put orphan blocks in a bag, we exchanged the bag/... and we were supposed to cut them up and make something new.

Here are my original blocks.


I had all sorts of ideas, but None of them spoke to me ---- until...

I just Chose my most favorite block to use as the center - and then I sliced up the ready of them.... Willie Nillie.... I did try to think about where I would cut them. But do you know - thinking - it is overrated!!!


After I had them all sliced up I started playing and making borders - and Ta Da!!! Above is what I made. 

I do need to quilt it, and I think it would be a fun little table topper!!

I also got some quilting in... So much Fun!!!!



It's so colorful - and now!! I need to bind... so its a finish in Progress.


I was listening to a podcast that was talking about the power of positive thinking, so instead of thinking this is a future UFO... I am thinking it is a FUTURE FINISH!!!


See .... I feel so much better already!!
