Good morning

Well I was bored and have no money to get new fabric to play with. So I dumped out my blue scrap bag and started sewing any strip I found together. Then I took my 6 1/2" square and cut where ever I could find enough space for the square. Then I sewed the left overs together and repeated the cutting. I think I like it! This is fun! But now should I sash it with red or gold or do I just butt them up together? I need a lot more!
Today I think I'll start a UFO list so when I get bored I will not start a new project but pick up an old one to work on, do you think it will work?

I think yellow or gold would look good with your "blues".

This is fun! I think you could throw in some red too, if you want. Very cute.
The list might work, but sometimes you are in the mood to finish and sometimes you are in the mood to start fresh...it might help you remember what is waiting. You seem to finish most of what you start. I am impressed with that.

I like your squares! It's interesting that you sort your scraps by color! I keep a UFO list and find it very helpful. If not a little intimidating!
Cheers,
Dionne

It probably won't work, Christina! LOL! I have experience with that...make the list, plan to finish certain ones, then oops! a new project looks interesting and I am off to start a new UFO!! I really like the scrappy blue project, though. I have a project in mind for my scraps but I am actually trying not to start it because I have so many UFO's!
