A Bit of Studio Time

The other day Lynne shared a new project she's working on using her bright on black fabrics.

That sent me upstairs to look at my bright on black stash.  

Hmmm - it was getting messy so I've been tidying and refolding.

So many pieces left from previous projects .  .  .

Some of the yardage came from backings and bindings . . . 

Other pieces were used in B.O.B.  (flimsy) and its backing and Razzle Dazzle - which may or may not get quilted before the end of the year . . . 

These half-yards came from a recent eQuilter sale . . . 

And these were going to be used for the back of Tuxie-Tude but with the change to black and white backing, these can go back in the stash.

I'm itching to make something with these, but obviously it will be a while before I start anything new.

At the other end of the color spectrum -- one of my goals this week was to finish die cutting the rest of the low volume 4" tumblers for Repose.

(The squares from a mix of 69 unique fabrics had only been waiting since June)

My next step was to pin pairs of tumblers and sort those into groups of ten for easy counting.

There are 320 tumblers in the 16 clipped sets shown above, plus 9 more pairs (bottom right), and 18 single tumblers for the row ends (bottom left).

My plan is to make a top 19 tumblers wide x 18 rows long (342 tumblers) 

I won't start stitching these until later in the year - but at least the project is ready to go when I am.
