A Day of Sewing

I picked up some Art Gallery Fabric scraps and bolt ends on sale as a reward for finishing my latest work novel. It's cheaper than buying yardage, and I'm able to recycle new fabric that might have otherwise been discarded.

I also bought this koi furoshiki, which hasn't arrived yet, and thought, why not combine them?

I always give myself a day off after finishing a book, so I spent it cutting the AGF scraps and ends into 2-1/2" strips.

I then sewed seven strips together to make five of these strip pieces.

After that I cut the five strip pieces into 14" blocks.

I don't have quite enough to make a full quilt top, but it's a good start.
