my Purge quilt
Hello there. Morning! I have some Purge quilt progress to share.
Yesterday I did some strip piecing with my purge fabrics and came up with four new blocks. It was surprising how fast they went together like that, as opposed to working with smaller scraps. Here's all my purge blocks, en masse. I'm only making 3-4 blocks per week, in between other projects, so the progress has been slow.
This morning I've reached a point of critical mass, whereupon I can look at what I've made so far and say, "Why, yes, I will definitely like this quilt." When you're going truly scrappy, each block as an island can tempt you to desert. All together this morning they finally have a happy-scrappy-nonsense vibe that I can dig. Phew!
Going truly scrappy takes guts.
Things have been looking and feeling chaotic lately. This is actually my sewing space on Tidy Mode. Somehow I have piles of fabric everywhere that shouldn't be put away. I feel surrounded. They're reminding me of progress that should be, could be occurring if I didn't need to take so many dang naps. I honestly don't like naps, but I am taking care of myself. Promise.
xo,
Rachel
p.s. looking forward to showing you at least one finished quilt next week!
