…is about all I have gotten done the last few weeks! Today I sent my lovely oldest daughter off  to India for three weeks for a study abroad class. I will miss her but I know this is one more step into her destiny and God will take care of her.

I bought a packet of charm squares at a quilt shop last week. I started making a lap quilt:

Hmmmm….its okay…..a bit boring.  Whatever…. Then I decided to pull out my basket of solid scraps.

I had a number of strips in there of various sizes and widths and I decided to just randomly sew them together and see what happened when I put different colors together.

Ahhh….now this is much more fun and interesting! I am fascinated with how the same color can look so different depending on who its neighbor is. I made a bunch more random strip sets today. I am enjoying this so far, have no idea where I am headed with it or how big it will be. I have found since I started this that I have spent less time online and more time sewing…..definitely a step in the right direction! I also have ideas for more pieces….maybe this will be a series or maybe it is a continuation of past series. All I know is, this is getting fun again.

Until next time…
