So I still have three drawers of blue scraps, because last year, blue got three months. It is just one of those colors. A lot of the blues are already sewn into crumb chunks from earlier years.
So I started pulling out scraps, and ironing and sorting.
Then running some scraps through the GO, focusing on Kites, and Geese and Drunkard's Path units. I was going to use the kites to cut up crumb blocks, but they are smaller than I imagined when I ordered the die. Maybe I'll use crumb blocks for the geese? I think there are almost enough of the Drunkard's Path for a quilt. Maybe I should start sewing those? I took the girls to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie this morning, and I'm not feeling super motivated. I think I ate too much popcorn. We got the carpets cleaned earlier this week, and I still haven't managed to get everything put back quite yet. Maybe I'll do that while I ponder what to do with all these scraps. If you are feeling scrappy today too, be sure to head over to
Oh Scrap!
I have been focused on my blue bins for a bit now too. I was happy when you chose it for the RSC color. I might be seeing a slight dent in them!
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of blue, too, and I don't even like blue! I'll be interested to see what you do with kites - my daughter got me a kite ruler for Christmas, and I haven't taken time to play with it yet. (Of course I need another project...)
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of a scrappy blue (with perhaps yellow) quilt for this coming year. All those blues look great to me.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Alvin and the Chipmunks can have that effect - lol. My stash and scraps are very heavy on blue also.
ReplyDeleteWould love to see you comment more on how you use your Go. Mine just languishes in the corner because I don't take the time to figure out how to incorporate it into my cutting for any given project.
ReplyDeleteWhat size is the Kite die Angela? This is a pattern I would like to make and have the GO but thought if they had a die it would be a decent size, I like to showcase the fabrics, especially my KF collection. I am also about to start on a Flying Geese quilt and think I can cobble together the pieces needed from the dies already under my table.
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of blue! Looks like fun sorting and sending them through the Go!
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of blue! Hopefully you had some time to contemplate what to do with all those fun scraps.
