LEFTOVERS

This container is full of leftover 2" squares from a swap I entered years ago....(in case you are interested it was on "The Curious Quilter"'s blog)
ANYHOO....
Not all of these are the same--as the saying goes...
some a smidgen smaller and small a bit bigger..soooo..
                                               2" plus or minus...😄
(PLUS, I have a lot of duple-and triplicates of the same fabrics...
Quite a puzzle....)

Makes for interesting sewing...
AND...I am not about to go and trim up all of these...
So far I've made:









 This nine patch










and...


this one

And this last one so far...

as I put them up on the
design wall..............

I began humming:

"It's Beginning to look a lot like
CHRISTMAS..."















And so this little runner is being born....

I've had this old fabric Forever and a Day...I like how it plays Christmas Carols for me....
*********************************
My next colors will be in this range....

You can see how uneven those (supposedly) 2"-ers are....;ooooo

But seeing that perfection is not the goal her, but rather some little fun runners
 and mug rugs and such.....and "using it up"
I'm just

                                          "BREEZING ALONG WITH THE BREEZE..."

Hugs on a partly sunny (for a while anyway) Tuesday...
Hope your day is a good one
Hugs, Julierose (humming away-euse)
