Stash Busting

I went looking in my Stash basket to fine a particular fabric to cut up and use and also to view it up close and personal so I could decide if I wanted to go to the trouble of buying it from the States.  What I found was that little fabric and all these packets that I had made up whilst heavily pregnant with my almost 12 year old!  I thought, 'this is ENOUGH!!' and decided to put one of the packets together.  I only kept one signature square (for a swap for the millennium) and tossed the rest.  We were living in Saudi Arabia at the time.

This is what that collection of 25 2.5" squares yielded.  I like it.  A lot.

So, I again went shopping in my stash and started cutting up 2.5" squares and 2" squares.  Whatever, I mean it, WHATEVER did not meet those two measurements went in the dumpster!  It is so refreshing!  Also, if I touched the fabric and DIDN'T LOVE IT, it was tossed!  So far, and it has been a couple of days, I have not felt the urge to rummage through my trash cans!!  Yippee!!

I pulled out so many 'started' scraps from friends and from my own stuff from over the years and just started playing around.

I am so pleased and have about 30 sets ready to be ironed and sewn together to make a 12.5" square!!

Stay tuned to see what a huge 200x200 meter ginormous monster I am making!
