I might have hurt my back a little, and I might have decided the 75-90mph winds were just not what I wanted to play in, so!! I retreated to my Scrap bin.
I finished cutting up the big pieces into 2 1/2 inch squares for my Chunky Churndashes.... and then - I had bits left over - so!!
I started putting them together and this is what is became.
I am not sure what I will use it for, or if I will add some to make it more placemat size, or???
But!! now the Blue bin is pretty put together . Not empty... but pretty put together! that's progress right?

Sorry you hurt your back, but your scrap bin sure benefitted. I can hardly close my blue scrap bin!
ReplyDeleteWhat does pretty put together mean. . .not overflowing? Contained? Room for more? Decorated with bows? .Oh, I'm being silly with math last thought! I'm glad you blue bin is happy those wonky blocks can become anything. . .that is the thing with scraps. Sometimes, they aren't decisive about what they "want" to be!
ReplyDeleteThat counts as great progress in my book!
ReplyDeleteHope you didn't hurt your back. Those high winds are just miserable to be out in. Yeah for having a put together scrap bin.
ReplyDeleteJust therapeutic to work with scraps like that! Very fun. Hope your back recovers soon!
ReplyDeleteI hope your back will not be too bad - heat, stretch - I bet you know the drill
ReplyDeleteIt's a win-win in my book--you got to play with pretty blue scraps, you reduced the blue scrap bin, and you made something pretty! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. It's nine years old! Be sure to enter the giveaway.

That is some fun, scrappy sewing there, Alycia! I'm so sorry you hurt your back, though. Hope it is starting to feel better. I'm not a fan of the wind either!
ReplyDeleteThat seems excessively windy! I hope everything is good on the ranch and I hope your back is better soon.
ReplyDeleteI often sew bits together like that and yours is lovely. It could become a tote bag, or many other things, it's the making that was important to you.

I love the randomness of the blue sewing! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your back is feeling better!! All those blue scraps will make something fun as you sew them together.
ReplyDeleteHey, “pretty put together” describes my blue scrap bin, too. I’ve got a blue quilt (blocks) all cut up and ready to sew, so I’d better get on it so I don’t have to stuff those bits back in! Definitely stay inside and rest that back!

ReplyDeleteBack trouble = Boo! Blue scrap fabric made = Yay! You'll find a use, I have NO doubt!
ReplyDeleteOh no, hurting your back is no good... but having fun with your blue scraps is! Hope you feel better soon xx
