A step too far

 I have been making good progress with sorting out the bags of stuff in my sewing room.  Some hexagon flowers have been successfully sewn onto a background square and now have joined the Linus orphans, and some Dresden Plates are ready to be used up too. 


It might not be the most perfect Dresden Plate you’ve ever seen, but it’s been ironed flat and will be an acceptable addition to a scrap quilt.  Then there were some nine-patches made from 1.5” squares, which I have bigger up into 5” blocks by framing them with triangles. 


There were ten of these altogether which went into the relevant Linus bag.  But them the next bag was some more Dresden Plate components. 



There is small, and then there is ridiculous!  There is no way I am going to spend time stitching these tiny bits together!  That is definitely a step too far!  So, cut rays go in the scraps drawer, pink squares are cut to 2.5” and the black goes in the blacks and greys box.  Done!
