Playing with some Squirrels -

Yesterday I decided to play with some SQUIRRELS -

As a reward for making such good progress -
On my EASY STREET DETOUR -
My version of Easy Street - HERE - ;))

Of all of the box tops filled with goodies -

I chose the one with QST - HST - 4-Patches - squares and triangles - ;))

The Christmasey HST will be added to my Christmas stuff -
But these HST got cut in half -

And re-matched -

And sewn into QST - ;))

These looked like leftover “Disappearing 9-Patch” pieces -
And - since I had eight of them -
I could have made a couple of 4-patches -

But I decided to cut them down the middle of the "fat" side -

Switched up the pairs -
Turned the left one up-side down -

And resewed them back together -
To get some of these - ;))

Then I found the pretty Turquoise strip segments -

I could make 4-patches -

Or a staggered - bargello kinda thingy -

But I decided to just cut them all down the middle -
For a bunch of crumb strips -
I LOVE the motion in that top fabric - ;))

Next came the HST -

The blue and tan ones made pretty QST -

And the rest made pretty QST as well -

Except for that bottom one -
It didn’t have a mate -
So I just added the halves to the stack of triangles - ;))

The four pink and black QST -
Reminded me of my Ladies - HERE -

So they might find themselves in the backing -
When I ever get around to making that - haha - ;))
(Note to self - make the backs to the tops that you already made - ;))

I didn’t do anything with the squares or triangles in the box top -
Just added my bits -
And called it a day - ;))

The BEST part of this PLAYtime -

Was that it was PLAY -

NO PLAN -

No CERTAIN SIZE to make -

NO IDEA what I’m going to do with them -

But that’s OK -

Not EVERYTHING in life is planned -

So I have kinda learned to -

Sometimes just GO with it -

And try to endure enjoy the ride - ;))

Today I will probably get back to Easy Street Detour -

A girl needs SOME planned bits - ;))



Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
