Are you black with white strips?
Or white with black strips?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with sad days?
Or are you sad with happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on
And on and on he went.
I'll never ask a zebra
About stripes
Again.
Shel Silverstein, Zebra Question
Do you ever feel that you are so behind that you will never catch up? Here April is almost a third over and I'm just getting around to posting about what I did in March. Oh well, I have pictures so I'll share and stop flagellating myself.
Now that my new machine is set up I want to play on it. I also have a number of projects that need attention in the piecing and binding stages. I MUST learn to prioritize my time better! I'm constantly amazed by how much some of the bloggers I follow get accomplished. Maybe that's the problem, I'm spending too much time reading blogs! LOL See why I like the quote above? Do I have too much to do or not enough time to do it?
I know, I know we all have the same 24 hours each day. God made us equal that way. I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED SOMETHING BIG in the last few weeks! Just look at the pictures in the previous post. It is something I've been dreaming of for at least 15 years.
So what else did I do last month. I shared a picture for a hint back in this post. Have you started one yet?

Do you like the way they are turning out? I'll share my approach and color theory about making scrap quilts if you'd like. Just leave a comment if you are interested in how I do it.

Not sure how big this one will be. I have a good many strip sets matched up to sew. The directions can be found here on Bonnie Hunter's site.
I'm linking up today with Catpatches March Newfo and Patchwork Times Design Wall Monday and Freshly Pieced WIP Wednesday
I am really enjoying my scrappy trip along too, I like yours! I'm always happy for new tips on how to make scrap quilts, I'm so afraid they are going to end up all looking the same if I keep using the same scraps! LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, tips are good! Thanks for offering!
ReplyDeleteI like your scrappy trip blocks and how you've used a yellow strip for the diagonal to unify the blocks.
ReplyDeleteLove your scrappy blocks! What a good way to use up odds and ends!
ReplyDeleteI loved your Zebra poem. I am about to start a scrappy trips block in the next week or two. Can't wait to get started. I found you on sew Many ways Find a Friend Friday.
