Often I sew strips of fabric together to make my own "fabric" to design a quilt with.
I have no idea what I will do with these strip fabrics when I am making them.
There are times when they speak to me and become a quilt right away.
There are also times when they need time to rest before they let me know what they want to be. This group has been taking a long nap!
Occasionally I cut the fabrics specifically for that sewing session.
Other times I go to one of my drawers or boxes and take out things I have cut already.
When I finish a project I often cut the left over fabric into strips if it is less than 6 inches. Those precut strips are a real time saver when I get the urge to sew strips together.
Sewing strips together can also be a mindless project when I just want to get on the machine and sew - ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!
I have quite a collection of strip pieced fabric at my disposal to use when I choose to make something.
These are just a sampling of what I have at my disposal.
