Scraps Be GONE!

No photos - today, I did a BIG procrasting thing.  I emptied, AND TOTALLY DISCARDED one entire storage box of little fabric/quilt parts and pieces - probably over 1000 little saved bits - walked them all the way to the dumpster and dumped them in - non retrievable.  DH always says "one step at a time" and "make every day count."    

Then, in prep for a quilting retreat and trying to come up with a project that wasn't too demanding, I dug out the latest collection of batting and cut up 56 nine inch squares.

OMG - I feel like a huge weight has been lifted from my chest.  This feeling of relief was totally unexpected.  Perhaps someone else out there was having the same problem, discarding unused bits and pieces.

This is not saying I'm not sewing - I am still at it, but those various boxes of fabric strips and snips was mentally holding me back from enjoyment.
