Strips

I previouslt mentioned cutting strips. TONS of strips. I went through stashes of scraps, ironing them and cutting strips. Some were fabrics I didn't like, some were fabrics I cut to add some colour and variety/interest.

I tried to sort them by value, with some success, although in hindsight there are always some that stray to the wrong group and you don't catch them until you've already cut out the blocks.

Here they are from lightest to darkest and I am really not happy with them. So this project has stalled, while I try and figure out what it is that I don't like, and what it needs to make it right.

I'm not very good when I hit a snag. I tend to get very dis-spirited and self-critical, instead of realising that this is when I actually LEARN something. Must.Remember.That.
