Scraping the bottom of the barrel...

When I was thinking about what to write today, trying to clear my horrible work-enduced headache, I couldn't work out what was more disturbing, the subject that sprang to mind or that I had taken a photo without even thinking about it!?

Omitted from my scrap-sorting post last week, was a little bag I kept recently from cutting my Retro Flowers.  Now, as this is being made with my hoarded Denyse Schmidt fabrics, and even though I am linking with Kelly's My Precious QAL too, it's pretty obvious that I am maybe not as ready to relax into this as I could be.

So these teeny bits have been saved...

But they look sooooooooooo pretty!

Am I the only one who has such unusable scraps, that you cannot bare the thought of putting in the bin?  Or do I have a problem??

But cut they are, and here's the full box of Retro Flower pieces, just to prove to you that I really am making this quilt and not just making it all up...

... the curved piecing began last night, 3 out of 16 flower's worth completed. 

I am using Kerry's flippity method, which I previously used on Susan's Bee Blocks, and the Man Quilt, and they have all turned out beautifully so far.

Well trying to put on a front of 'interest' at work failed dismally today, but hopefully my immunity to tedium will be boosted back to regular term-time levels soon enough, and I will be able to think straight again!

I have real, new sewn things to show you tomorrow, so I'll be back with a proper post then, I promise x
