get ahold of yourself

dragonlady7I intended to continue on the hexagons at work today, waiting for the database, but I immediately realized I'd forgotten my scissors-- they didn't get packed back into my work bag, somehow, and went separately and I must have removed them somewhere.
I got by, with some dull paper scissors that were here, and got a few things cut out, and was all right until I realized the other thing that had gotten packed back separately from the work bag, which was my thread.
So.
No progress there.
I'm struggling to design the yurt-belt-quilt. I figure I have ten feet by eighteen inches, so I should do ten one-foot-square panels, and then have a top band and bottom band. Fine. But what kind of design shall I do?
I've decided I think I'll attempt applique, and I might as well try a few methods. So I'm pondering that. And then I figure, applique will leave a lot of weird little scraps, and I'll set those scraps aside for some foundation-pieced crazy quilt stuff, and maybe I'll wind up alternating appliqued squares with crazy-quilted squares. I surely don't have enough fabric to do the whole ten feet, but if I do the squares separately, when I do run out of fabric I can find something else and space it all out and lay it out nice before I assemble it. Surely whatever happens, I can make it work.
The important thing is not to be too precious; this is an experiment and a sampler, not a piece of art I'm trying to sell.
