Well THAT Didn't Take Long ...

It is all Cathy's fault.

Introducing my Squirrel Project No. 789.

(if you aren't familiar with my squirrel projects,

check out the Ad Hoc Squirrel Club in my sidebar) 

It's okay - I'm not mad at Cathy.

I'm actually kind of excited about it.

A big part of my process

is taking in ideas 

and considering possibilities.

(remember my goal for 2021 to plant

and nurture the seeds of possibility?)

As most of you know,

I've been making a series of

what I refer to as

Dumpster Diving quilts

for several years now.

I've gathered enough ideas and sketches

to make twenty (gasp!) of them.

But in order to work on other projects

that have been waiting for too long,

I decided a while back to return 

to my original plan for a twelve-quilt series. 

Of course there will be a very big pile of 

1.5" and already-pieced DD strips in a rainbow of colors

left after I finish Dumpster Diving12-Journey's End

As soon as I read Cathy's post,

I knew I could use a lot of them to make 

my own version of her scrappy rail fence beauty.

For a 48" x 60" quilt top

I'll need 320 of these little (3" finished) blocks.

(first six shown above)

I'll loosely follow along this year

using the Rainbow Scrap Challenge color prompts

and then see how many more blocks I need.

I've named my long-term project

HOPPIPOLLA

which is an Icelandic verb for

 "jumping into puddles."
