Scrap busting

I have scraps.

Lots of scraps.

I also bought this pattern probably about 10 years ago.

While having a clear-out I rediscovered it about 18 months ago.

It had sat doing nothing for so long that the paper had started to discolour.

I should really just have chucked it out/passed it on to someone else but in a moment of madness I decided I would make it.

It's been slow and sporadic.

When I began I had visions of a very controlled pattern palette.

Then I didn't touch it for several months and forgot what my game plan was and went random.

Then I picked it up again in the last few days and decided anything would go.

I now have no idea how it is going to turn out.

Nor when it will be finished.

Each one of these alone takes me 45 minutes to piece.

Added to which because I keep losing interest in it, I turn to another scrap buster I am working on at the moment.

Sewing up scrappy squares of all one colour.

Then taking the curved ruler to them.

And adding a bit more on.

A way to go yet before the idea in my head is all sewn up.
