Paper piecing creates a pile of scraps and bits. I think that is part of the reason why I don't do a lot of paper piecing. And this pile is all batiks and I sure hated to let it go to waste/trash can. So I took inspiration from several of the gals doing the Journal Quilt Challenge--my turn to fuse some trimmings.
I applied heat and bond to a 9" by 12" piece of batting and pulled out the pile of scraps. Then it was like doing a puzzle....like colors together and odd ends sticking out. I re-arranged them a couple of times and finally just fused it all down. I have a lot of long skinny strips and decided to use the turquoise blue ones as accents, and turquoise thread to quilt the whole thing.
This is not my usual thing.....but I love it! The colors, the movement, the freedom to explore and just create something from bits and pieces. I think that will be my "word/phrase for the year"---freedom to explore.
Insight: Be inspired to find your own way.
Happy stitching.
