WIP 4 Pick up Sticks
My bag eliminating continues. If you have been following me this year I have not been cleaning and organizing per say but I have been keeping things neatly together over the years. What I am finding out is that I have tons of fabrics filed away in bags waiting for whatever it is to be finished. I keep the relevant coordinates together or shades or whatever. This does have its advantages as I can pull it up and not have to rematch etc. However, it also has its pitfalls. I just commented to another blogger that I loved her blue quilt and wondered why I didn't have much blue fabric. Well, the answer = I have bunches of it packed away with projects! sigh....
Slowly I am pulling up these project bags and deciding to continue or let go of all the fabrics held hostage!
This bag was a bag of string cutoffs of AGF. I love their feel and texture and started a improv crib quilt with them. Then got busy and moved on.
While I did not empty the bag of strings I did finish up with this gray kona and am counting this as a win!

I used up a rainbow fabric on the back along with some grunge. I am curious if this happens to others but when I buy a strip that runs the wof, often it is cut so crooked. I just used it as was and filled in with my other piece. I realize it looks wonky but I hate to waste it. Just frustrating to not cut fabric singly when striped like that. I worked in a big box fabric store back in the day and we always cut them singly. hmm?
