Scrappy Spools are Stacking Up!

More of the same this week.  I have worked my way through almost all of the Scrappy Spools that I had prepped, so I need to get more of those ready to go.  I haven't taken a photo in a while, but here you can see the progress.  I started the year with just one of each style block.  I am having fun picking through my smallest scraps to find just enough to make each block work while sticking to a deliberate overall look.  

When I am not sewing I have been unsewing.  Some of the fabric I brought back from my MIL was orphan blocks or trimmed ends and things like that.  She doesn't have access to cotton like we do here, so not everything can be repurposed for what I sew.  So when I don't have papers to grade, I am unsewing while I watch TV in the evenings.  

While unsewing the cat fabric, I was reminded me of the orange & blue blocks that I don't have a plan for.  Maybe they could work with the cats??  I think the idea is right - pieces blocks with a solid block, but the theme is wrong and the cat scraps are too narrow.  But it does give me some more ideas.

I also got most of what I brought back from her in February put away - finally!  Just a few stacks left that are strips that I want to cut down and put in my drawers of pre-cut strips and squares.
