I got my hexi spiral ready to stitch and just love these colors

| love the prints and colors! |
I have been busy going through batik scraps, unused for years. I pulled out those easy to cut to squares in sizes 2.5" 3" and 3.5" and those joined all the other colors I cut out of other fabrics. I have many in each size to use in future projects
this changes a long held practice of keeping all batiks separately but which led to not using them often
All my fabrics and scraps have been washed in hot water and detergent, then sorted and kept by type or color. This is usually workable for me.
Batiks cause sinus trouble when pressed if not thoroughly scoured. You know that scent they have?
now I am mixing them in more, they make me happy with their color intensity and pattern

| this was made from tiny scraps of regular printed fabrics... |
All are so pretty
then I ran across this little scrap and it will become inspiration for future works... the pattern, the colors and the relative amounts of each color to each other.... inspiration comes from many sources!
the extra GGG blocks ( on the right below) will make it 15 rows by 12 across.... with borders maybe large enough to cover a human for a nap
otherwise I have less flashy work to do this week. The watercolor quilt needs borders and quilting.
the two tiny scrap pieces also need to be finished into "flimsies" and then maybe tote bags or book covers for notebooks, or or or....
a close up of one of our patio chairs for the end of blue green month... but I will continue to work on my projects of blue green because they sooth my soul at a time when it is in need of soothing
if you need me (or my snoopervisor) we'll be in the studio!
