Been awhile, eh?
I've been piecing a new quilt top:
Practicing my hand quilting on a table topper:
And yesterday, I decided to go through my scrap bin and sort everything by colour. I had two piles going. One with traditional fabrics/colours, another with modern fabrics/colours:

Fig Tree scraps turned into a bit of a head scratcher because they worked in both piles. The traditional pile usually won out :-)
Some things I learned as I was sorting:
- I have had a lot of pretty fabric in my life so far
- My tastes seem to be split 50/50 between traditional and modern styles. The two sets of piles were stacked to pretty similar heights. Interesting to note that the modern pile had a lot more grey than the traditional pile. Grey really does seem to be the "neutral" in the modern quilting world.
- Red seemed to win out as the biggest traditional pile (thanks to French General)
- Aqua seemed to win out as the biggest modern pile (with no one designer winning the battle)
- I don't seem to be a fan of yellow for some reason.
- I am appalled by the lack of purple. I love purple and I've used it so little. Must remedy that a.s.a.p.
Jack gave me the cold shoulder all day because I wouldn't let him sleep in the emptied scrap basket:
Visiting from the blogathon. Love those on a whim blocks. I started one of those quilts but it got sidelined after a realized that I hated the background fabric. It was like sewing with paper. Yuck! Looking forward to seeing how this progresses!
