It wouldn't take me long to lose focus and get distracted doing all that sorting! Another project using those would pop into my head and the sorting would have to wait for another day! I do have piece I am working on right now made from scraps from a quilt I made my nephew out of vintage French linen. I tried to be very organize and collected the scraps into one pile when I made the quilt. I didn't know what I was going to do with them, but I could not just toss them. I did find two pieces that were put in the leftover binding box by accident, but I found them in time to incorporate in this piece. The scraps are now assembled into a wall piece and the piece is now being quilted - check out my blog for lots of pictures and I would love to know what you think - the good or the bad - that is how I will learn!

Once I face the task I find myself starting to enjoy it: it is a bit meditative. <br />I love seeing all the beautiful colors that your sorted strips provide.

Once you start doing it, it's an easy process to maintain. <br /><br />My next idea is to take all the leftovers and sew them immediately into abstract blocks so I eliminate the scraps altogether. <br /><br />Sometimes I just have to stop and deal with the scraps before I can move on. So, I totally understand.Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14959081275116311853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-37121464899366281172012-03-30T07:20:16.939-04:002012-03-30T07:20:16.939-04:00At least you're making headway.

This sounds l...Rayna, you cracked me up once again! This sounds like my life - or, at the moment, like the inside of my mind. Very definitely the way I "work" or whatever you'd call it - I have to handle my strips and bits constantly, and view and sort in various ways; it's how I both begin and finish any project. Sometimes I think I don't really like to make stuff, I really just like to handle and sort random bits of fabric. Curate it.<br /><br />And it's pretty similar with food - produce, in my case; I don't like to cook it nearly as much as I like to pick it and handle it and preserve it, which I do almost compulsively.<br /><br />Pretty soon there will be a reality TV show, and we can be its first subjects: Fabric Sorters, a form of compulsive obsession. Almost not even funny, right? (or maybe I should leave you out of my little disorder...)Cathy Bargarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14299729971894330710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-43764948671701772412012-03-29T12:10:36.718-04:002012-03-29T12:10:36.718-04:00Happy Sorting, they look like such fun strips!

I don't know about you, but, I sometimes think that sorting clears the mental pathways and gets new energy flowing, do you?Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08900783050870840472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10294353.post-19167713320324278332012-03-29T12:04:17.545-04:002012-03-29T12:04:17.545-04:00Eek!

Especially if it is already fused. Have a great time in Philadelphia!!Gerriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292762162661584206noreply@blogger.com
