I'm attempting to turn my overflowing crate of fabric scraps (I keep every little piece) into something useful. To wit, a tablecloth-cum-picnic blanket. It's a project I can work on when I have only ten minutes at the sewing machine, which makes it ideal for my lifestyle of late. I'm figuring I'll need 60 blocks; I have half of them done.
What I haven't figured yet is the color to frame each block, and tie it all together. White would be an aesthetically pleasing choice if this wasn't destined to have ketchup and curry spilled on it. I don't really want a dark color, because I want this to feel summery.
Maybe a sunshiny yellow. We'll see. When you indiscriminately throw every color and hue into one project, it's bound to look all over the place like a mad woman's breakfast.
But I think I'm OK with that.

Gorgeous!!! I have tons of fabric (and scraps. sigh) and have been thinking of just doing a tablecloth / picnic blanket as well. Yours is very inspiring, Hashi.
'Mad woman's breakfast'? I quite like it. I'd nosh bagels with you over it, any day.
