What Is IT about My Feet????

What Is IT about My Feet?


I keep banging them up.   This time I dropped a full one and one half liter of wine. And the bottle broke.. smashed all over the Liquor Store floor.   The clerk kept reassuring me they would clean up the mess... Never asked about my foot.   Although it is very black and blue there are no breakages... That is good..  I have been profiled as probably breaking a bone somewhere in the next ten years.
 
 
Now    what have I been sewing??
 
 
I have been working very hard at getting a couple of Modern quilts completed or at least a good start.   This picture shows one that will have a lot of negative space for free motion quilting.

I also have got deep into my scrap bag  ..  Cut the scraps in random widths and about 3 1/2 inches long and then sewn them to strips of fabric as in foundation piecing.  At first I sewed them on strips of paper, then realized how much time would be involved getting rid of the paper so moved up to old pieces of white fabric.   What will I do with these.    After they have been trimmed, I have a couple of ideas..  Time will tell.   But right now I have to sit with my leg up so the blood won't go to my foot.   Can't sew this way.   sigh


This last picture shows it trimmed to 2 1/2 inches....   I think the new ones in cloth will be trimmed to 3 inches.  That will sew them up at two and a half.  I need more background fabric...   Time to go shopping,
