My rotary cutter needs a break. So do I.
I've been cutting scraps for a new project using leftover jelly rolls, charm squares, and other bits of this and that. To make sure there's enough contrast, I like to "audition" the fabrics by placing them side by side.
Sometimes it's helpful to see the fabrics without color, so I converted the photo to black and white.
This helps identify any problems before it's necessary to un-sew!
Time to wake up my machine and get these pieces put together. Hope you have a great week.

Goodness Kim, that is a lot of cutting! Love the b&w photo idea ... and truly can't wait to see what you create with these beautiful scraps!! Good luck :)
They all look beautiful to me. :o) Happy Sewing!
Your scrappy bits will sure make a pretty bird nest if you share with them.
Pretty! Can't wait to see what you sew together :-)
All looks wonderful to me!! A fabulous mix of fabrics!
One of each, please. This promises to be something lively!
Whoa! That looks amazing! I love the lights and I don't usually care for lights much. Nice choices :-)
Cutting is good therapy! Great use of small bits!
Can't wait to see what becomes of your cutting marathon. Looks like it will be wonderful.
This looks interesting - I know your machine will be glad to wake up and play!!
Now that is a lot of cutting! Gorgeous fabrics!
Ooooh, I can't wait to see what you're cutting! I love your header too -- especially those cute little kitty paws!
I love the fabrics! Cutting is my least favourite part.
Love the fabrics! I've heard converting to black and white is helpful. Thanks for the demonstration!
wow that is a lot of cutting.
Can't wait to see it develop. Great fresh and pretty prints.
Loving the look of all those pieces lined up, ready for action :)
Hi Kim, you stash looks likes mine! Happy Sewing, Hugs, Mary
I haven't ever tried that before. Looks like it would be a good idea. I think you should have been more than a party of one for all of that rotary cutting!
That's a lot of fabric!
You've been BUSY! Great tip for converting an image to B&W to confirm the contrast - thanks!
Please don't give to birds to make a nest. Bright colored scrapes make them an easy target for their predictors. You can use them to stuff a bed for dogs. Thanks I love the demo
