A sandwich short of a picnic...

that about sums me up today.  

I woke feeling incredibly bright and bouncy this morning.   What do you do when you feel so good.   Take a load of rubbish to the local dump.... that's what.   There is nothing like a good clean out in the morning to get a girl firing on all cylinders!  

Still full of beans when I got back I decided to salvage 2 1/2" squares from the abandoned Friendship Braid.   I had a brilliant idea.   I'd cut the pieced braid apart.  Great!  A quick way to get the job done.  Clever me.   Except.....  I used a jelly roll for goodness sake.  If I cut them they won't be 2 1/2" any more.    Fortunately I figured that out before I got all scissor happy.     

So.... guess who's unpicking all the braids stitched so far... 6 of them!  It's slow going.....

I am gathering quite a heap of scraps that I can get a nice 2 3/8" triangle from.   Did I tell you I'm really mean with fabric.... won't waste a  millimetre of any of it.

There could be a flock of geese arriving soon. 

I'm 'swithering' because I can't decide wether to make an Irish Chain Quilt with all the squares or apply the K.I.S.S. principal and stick to a nine patch.   At least I've narrowed the choices down to two... that's got to be good.

I think my cylinders might be over firing.    I've got way too many projects spinnning around in my head right now.  Don't seem to be able to find the remote for my brain so's I can switch it off!    Think I'll have a headache by bedtime.....

Till next time....
