Yesterday was a dud of a day. I either ate something or had a bug. So my packages didn’t get mailed, I laid around all day and went to bed early. I hate those kind of days because it’s hard to keep momentum going when everything just abruptly stops. But thankfully, today has been better and I dragged out the fabric cutter to get me inspired to ‘make’.

Below is the bag of scraps and the cutting process.

I don’t have to cut all the scraps into 2 inch squares or what-have-you shapes. But squares are the foundation for many quilt blocks and can be subcut as needed later. It also reduces clutter to have them in a ‘grab & go’ stack. It’s not for me to be too matchy-matchy. I like the look of scrap quilts. I just personally need to deal with all those batches of scraps that have been accumulating.

So there you have it— my method for getting back into the sewing rhythm. What is your way to get rolling out projects after a brief hiatus? Drop a comment and come back Tuesday for more inspiration!
