Thursday morning was a very early one for me... just happened to wake at 5am.
I didn't mind... I had planned to play in my sewing room & cut the outer border fabric for my Friendship Quilt, so an early start was fine with me.
BUT when I got in there, I somehow started poking around with an entirely different project for a little while... then a bit longer... then intermittently all day😀😀
What was so engrossing? Little squares... many little squares.
For a few months now, I've been spending time occasionally, cutting my bits & bobs of fabrics down into 2½"squares... there's 3 tubs stuffed full of these oddments... a quilt will eventually be made with them... but first, the cutting... lots of cutting!
It was just so satisfying... press, cut, stack, repeat... adding a few more piles of squares to what I already had... & then I just couldn't resist doing this to what I've cut since I started in June:
More stuff has been pulled from the tubs, & set aside for when I feel another attack of Scrap Cutting Fever.
As for those poor neglected quilt borders, they need not fear; they'll get done on the weekend.
I Promise!
Santa dropped by the other day & collected my Secret Santa Christmas Swap parcel; it's off to somewhere very far away... Gotta love this time of year♥
Thanks for dropping by

I love chopping up little squares! And they all look so pretty all lined up on the board! They will certainly come in handy! xx
Your squares look lovely. Hugs,xx
The pressing and cutting takes time but so worth having them available for when you want them...
Yours look so pretty and coordinated...

Look at you go! They look awesome.
I can see some sort of rainbow about to happen....it is so easy to get sidetracked!
Oh your squares look fantastic, something gorgeous is going to happen with them.
Your squares look great all set out there, it is easy to get distracted in the sewing room! !
Love seeing all your squares!
Don't all those little squares just look lovely! Very nice creative startvto your day xx
your little squares look great...
enjoy sewing the borders on the Friendship blocks..
Lovely to see all your squares set out like that. I have a box of squares I cut from scraps sitting in the cupboard - I really should do some more and make use of them. xx
I like cutting up my scraps too! It truly is the perfect thing to do when not able to sleep. So fun yet not too hard on the brains. Can't wait to see what you plan on doing with your treats!
Great idea to use up odd bits of fabric. You will create a beautiful quilt from those squares.
They look so great, your little squares, all of them put together by colours. That makes me want to cut up some of my scraps the same way.
