Working on honoring time to create, time to fill my tank back up rather than working, working, working all hours of the day and night. So a bit of vacation with a bit of quilting was in order.
I agreed to participate in a Civil War fabric block exchange with a group of quilting friends, so last Wednesday, during my stay at Wrightsville Beach I began cutting out 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 squares and the rectangles that go with. Some in the group will be doing Fons & Porter Butterscotch Pudding with these 4 1/2 unfinished blocks.
I am not sure yet what my final project will be. But I do know that cutting this precise is a bit of a challenge, especially since I have been working on less conforming art quilt pieces lately. I am doing my best to get into a Zen cutting place with this challenge.
I like that varied combinations that I pulled from my stash and I think the overall scrappiness will be pretty in the finished project.
It is satisfying to have a little pile growing. I have until November to finish.
Twenty done....about 64 to go!
