One down, 65 to go...

These strips had been in my monster UFO pile for at least three years (if not longer), the black and whites leftovers from another project finished and long gone. I'm not sure what the original plan was for them, or if there even was one, so I banned the cat to the spare bedroom and played around until I got a layout I was happy with.

I'm calling it "Spare Change."

I don't know what stalled this effort in the first place (a new jelly roll, another flash of an idea, a new deadline...it doesn't take much), and my heart definitely wasn't in it when Practical Self forced me to come back to it last week -- but I'm coming around and actually like how this turned out.

It feels soooooo good to get it out of its plastic bag and on its way to becoming a finished project! So good, in fact, that I may take on another UFO when this is done!

But don't hold me to it -- that "Sultry" jelly roll is still calling to me, and it's getting louder.
