ISO: Next Project

After taking care of dishes and laundry and various other necessary household tasks, I went out to the garage in search of my next sewing project.  I hauled this bin in to the workroom:

Inside were a few different multi-gallon Ziploc bags.  The biggest is devoted to "ocean colors" for a quilt or three that I want to make eventually.  But I wasn't feeling that project today, so that went back in the box.

One of the other bags, however, held strings!  So back out to the garage I went.  I actually know where my stash of "suitable for string piecing" paper is.  I brought back in a Pinetree gardening catalog from three years ago, cut it up into 8.5" squares, and pulled all the green and orange strings I could find, to make Rainbow Scrap Challenge string blocks.  Three green:

And two orange:

That worked through, I sorted a bag of 1.5" strips into light and dark:

And dug through another bag of 2.5" x 7.5" bricks, pulling out all the reds:

I took four of the red bricks, cut them into three 2.5" squares, making twelve total, and started in on making log cabin blocks ala Eleanor Burns.  I got two rounds around them before bedtime, and am debating whether to stop at three rounds (for 8" blocks) or to go for four (for 10" blocks).
