Why you ask ? because I need some control.
The en suite was leaking and needed to replaced. It has taken a week to gut the room and re-tile. Tomorrow the grout is done and we will have a shiny white room. But not an en suite yet.
Mean while I have retreated to the other end of the house. trying to create order.
I cut a batch of strip sets on the diagonal into rectangles 3 1/2" by 10". Alternating them with solid rectangles.
Laid out on the floor as I assembled the rows. They needed a bit of tweaking and stitching together.
completed top will be a community quilt. I like the opportunity to try ideas in a manageable and useful size. 48" by 54".

Unable to do much else because of the chaos I started delving into the scraps one again.
sorting cutting and laying out for another quilt or two.
The stitching of strips together is repetitive and comforting. A Chinese Coins quilt will be another someday quilt from the list.
I don't know where the shower is or if the toilet will arrive for the plumber on Tuesday but I can quilt and tomorrow my dear GD is coming to craft with me and watch the Bledesloe Cup.
Have a good weekend all !! Terry

How exciting to get a new ensuite! I love your scrappy rectangle quilt. The solid colour you've used works so well with the scrappy fabrics you've used. Have fun crafting with your GD.
I love the way the horizontal and diagonal lines work in your scrap community quilt.
