Four sheets of graph paper later I may have a hit. <br />But now I am looking at your box of two inch squares and it makes me want to go cut up some two and a half inch squares. (Cuz that's how I do mine)<br />I am just happy that I have moved past my slumpadump and have started to create again! I even sat still yesterday for five or so minutes and colored part of a picture I had printed out for just that purpose! <br />Thank you for your posts, I have been encouraged!!!claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6514394646355489375.post-12820352907736970502016-06-29T15:25:32.773-07:002016-06-29T15:25:32.773-07:00Ohhhh!

I admire the discipline of those who manage their scraps that way. Mine just get shoved in bins. It's interesting how the individual patterns of the various fabrics blend and complement one another so well when viewed from a distance. So much more than just the sum of its parts!Rebecca Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14801489818836195754noreply@blogger.com
