After weeks (!!) of pondering,
I have decided how I will approach
my participation in Angela's
 |
| Inspiration photo from recent issue of Cottages |
For me, it is all about the scrappy colors.
The way they feed off each other.
The way they make people smile.
The way humble scraps become
something much, much more.

My overall goal for the year is to work small.
I have a folder stuffed full of ideas
ranging from A to Z and back again.
I want to make a set of
rainbow scrappy placemats.
I want to create a series of "mini" quilts.
I want to cut pieces and parts
for future rainbow quilt projects.
And I want to continue making
sixteen patch blocks
that will hopefully turn into
a quilt top by the end of the year.

I love knowing what the colors will be
but not when they will be chosen.
I love considering the possibilities.
But most of all,
I love the idea of playing more
and planning less.

Looking forward to seening how your scrappy year unfolds, especially the minis.
Playing MORE, planning LESS? Sounds like words to live by!!
Love your writing, how you want to proceed, how organic it will be, Lovely!! and I am positive you will make some very beautiful creations with these thoughts.
I'm looking forward to your luscious colour projects again this year!
good plans
I like your plans (they remind me of mine!). And I loooove your Liberated Wedding Ring RSC quilt. Did that one get quilted and finished? I`d love to see it!
Love your Colorful Crumbs. I'm doing the Color Me crayon quilt this year. Great inspiration ideas. Go for it and have a fun year, you deserve it!
I love the idea of a series of minis! Now you've got me thnking! Your Colorful Crumbs are wonderful, too. Looking forward to seeing what you do with them!
Your creative mind has never failed in the past. Waiting anxiously to see what it will come up with this year.
Thank you, Melody!

I love those rows that you showed in the last photo! :)
I like small - that will be fun to have projects that you can finish right away!
Play more, plan less sounds like a fantastic approach to the year.
Sounds like a good plan! Good luck in 2017!
It's always interesting to see what sparks ideas for people. Casual flower arrangements are the promise of spring even though winter has barely started. What a great way to see your future quilting.
I always enjoy seeing your colorful quilts. I want to RSC IN 2017 but a little unclear about how I share with others. Do you give us a color ea h month?
Can't wait to see what wonderful things you make this year :)
I am sure you will make beautiful things! I cannot work small. I have to make at least lap size. I just love scraps. Your inspirations photos are terrific- clean, strong, simple.
I love your idea of making some small rainbow quilts. I think I will do both, some small and some big. That way the big projects will continue into the next year, while small ones can get done this year.
Sounds like a perfect plan. Smaller projects and one larger project. Looking forward to seeing all your adventures with scraps this year.
