The design wall was empty, and I can't stand that blank space staring at me. So I put up a few of the rail fence blocks I have been building. Once again the floral strips are being used. Four of the 2'' strips make up these units. At least one dark, a couple of mediums prints, and one light used to create a blended effect. Then they just zig zag across and down. Once I sort and pin each batch, the sewing is mindless and perfect to do while watching a movie.The sorting, purging and such is still continuing a little each day. I have emptied 6 different leftover project boxes that just got put back on the shelf. So a benefit is I am creating space, as well as finding useful leftovers. Of course, I probably won't have any problem filling it back up.
I haven't tackled the fabric stash closet yet......tomorrow maybe. Ha!
Enjoy your day....happy stitching.

A pretty sight on your design wall, Debbie--much better than empty!
Love the poster! Isn't that the truth!!
Umm, I just came back from Joanns. I bought some Kona solids on sale for those Sujata free form blocks. Guilty. I just love the rail fence blocks. I have to quilt 2 comfort quilt requests, so I can't do any piecing today or design wall stuff.
Such simple blocks but so effective a quilt they can make! I've made that same promise to myself, only to be broken once or twice a year, if I'm lucky ...
I wish I had room for a design wall in my sewing room. I have 2 movable foam boards, but, they lean against the guest bedroom door, and I usually can't get to them (everything seems to find it's way into the guest bedroom).
I really like those zig zag florals on your design wall. Very Pretty. Sounds like your purging is going well.
The rail fence looks good.
I am not going to mention my FAD (fabric acquisition disorder.)
Beautiful! I have no room for a design wall which would explain my turned blocks which show up so often. I love the poster.
The quote from Mary Jo's certainly applies to me as well. I'm rather afraid to tackle my stash closet. I think it might be dangerous.
I love your watercolor quilts, Debbie... you are a constant inspiration for me!
Thank you....you made my day!
Beautiful! Amazing how such a simple block can look so wonderful!
Stunning watercolour quilt, I've never seen one made before using Rail Fence, it's just a delight.
