oh gosh. i still don't know what i'm going to make it into.

My Quilting Shit seems to be settling out to: making whole cloth quilts from big pieces of fabric, rag quilts from smaller but whole pieces of fabric, then appliques or pieced squares (this is the next stage which I haven't started yet) from smaller pieces but larger amounts of fabric, and then hexagons from appropriately-sized left over scraps, and then crumb or crazy quilts from the leftover fragments that don't work for hexies.

So I think I'll probably just be accumulating hexagons for a long time, and if I get enough in a color scheme I think I can make into something, then I'll do that.

I'm also going to try to make myself draw a line and finish things, because I don't want too many nebulous "someday" projects that I'm forever collecting things for-- but I feel like the hexagons will be one of those somedays, because they're just such a good smallish organized thing, and also you need so goddamn many of them to make anyfuckingthing at all.
(I should count how many I have, and put the finished ones safely into a space to store them until all are done, though.)
