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 :)
ReplyDeleteThey all look beautiful to me. :o) Happy Sewing!
ReplyDeleteYour scrappy bits will sure make a pretty bird nest if you share with them.
ReplyDeletePretty! Can't wait to see what you sew together :-)
ReplyDeleteAll looks wonderful to me!! A fabulous mix of fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOne of each, please. This promises to be something lively!
ReplyDeleteWhoa! That looks amazing! I love the lights and I don't usually care for lights much. Nice choices :-)
ReplyDeleteCutting is good therapy! Great use of small bits!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what becomes of your cutting marathon. Looks like it will be wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThis looks interesting - I know your machine will be glad to wake up and play!!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a lot of cutting! Gorgeous fabrics!
ReplyDeleteOoooh, I can't wait to see what you're cutting! I love your header too -- especially those cute little kitty paws!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics! Cutting is my least favourite part.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabrics! I've heard converting to black and white is helpful. Thanks for the demonstration!
ReplyDeletewow that is a lot of cutting.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it develop. Great fresh and pretty prints.
Loving the look of all those pieces lined up, ready for action :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, you stash looks likes mine! Happy Sewing, Hugs, Mary
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of fabric!
ReplyDeleteYou've been BUSY! Great tip for converting an image to B&W to confirm the contrast - thanks!
ReplyDeletePlease 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
