Preparation 101

2.5 Prep (400x300)

The stack of fabric to the top of the photo is what’s ready for consideration into the next scrappy quilt. My friend, Doreen, said she was in favor of lighter colors for this project. It is time to sort and head in that pastel direction.  Kevin has offered to use his huge cutter in his print shop to help cut multiple pieces.  In a perfect world, my scraps would all be the same size rather than a bit of this and a bit of that.

 

2.5 Prep (1) (400x300)

Here is the same stack of fabric, but now cut in 2.5″ squares for the centers of the quilt blocks. I did not have the heart, nor the arm strength, to begin cutting the sashing that will go around the center of each block. That will be for another day. Preparation 101 has shut off the lights and closed down the shop .
