But once they're flung it feels so good. And bravo for the postage stamp project. I do love working with 1.5" squares. Seeing what other quiltmakers have done with them is a great inspiration.

Our university's recycling center is starting a creative recycling area with materials for art projects and studio space for people to use them. Your post has inspired me to go through my fabrics and finally let go of ones that no longer bring me joy (lots of grayed colors from the 80's and 90's). The center is opening in April, so that gives me a good amount of time. I'm sure there are some artists that could do wonders with my scraps while I make space to restock with fresher colors and patterns. Thanks for the kick in the pants to do this! I hope your energy is back to normal soon. Have a fun weekend with your daughter, and stay WARM!JanineMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475847392355523001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4331056529990165279.post-60700655264160990762016-02-13T19:24:54.794-05:002016-02-13T19:24:54.794-05:00Wow - you sure do make great use of your scraps.
