Productive procrastination strikes again!

Pulling rows off "Not-So-Plain Spoken" and picking apart 24 blocks was such a daunting task that it drove me to be productive somewhere else. I'd feel guilty about not taking up my seam ripper right away if I were, say, spending that time playing Angry Birds or drinking beers out on the deck, but in this case I just went and crossed another top off my list and freed up some valuable bin space.

This UFO was sitting around so long, I literally had to blow the dust off of it. All the blocks were completed, just waiting to be put into rows and turned into a top.

"Snowflakes in July," made mostly with Winter Joy fabrics (Sue Zipkin, Clothworks).

This is my second project using this fantastic cutting technique. Even though it took years to actually get this top assembled, I think it took maybe ten minutes, max, to cut up the squares. I'd recommend trying it just for the thrill of instant gratification you get. Just take her advice and use starch -- it makes everything much more stable in the long run.

I'm on a roll! At this rate, I could have all my UFO's done by Labor Day!
