I Changed My Mind

After not being totally thrilled with yesterday's start, I went back to study my Flickr favorites and found what did make me happy. I have always admired these two strip pieced quilts by Freddy Moran and Gwen Marston. I knew I could have more fun playing with lots of strips and maybe even incorporate my squares too.

I had to spend a bit of time cutting a strip or two from all the fabrics on my table, and only then did I remember that I had tucked away several boxes of already cut strips, leftover from last year's QAWM.

Sometimes a false start can lead to a much better do-over.
I am ready and jazzed to sew now, but have a very busy Wednesday in town, so it will be Thursday before I can jump back into the studio.
Speaking of being jazzed, I am getting much more limber due to the rigorous workout we are doing at Jazzercise. I used to be so stiff in the morning as I creaked my way down the stairs. This is not happening now, and the only difference (besides my weight loss) has to be the exercise...yay!
