Plum Millie - the Revised Plan

For the strips in Plum Millie, I was going to use pieced scraps.  I pulled the ones I wanted, started ironing them, then lost interest pretty quickly.  The amount of time it would take to piece them, only to cut them into one-inch strips, seemed silly.  I wouldn't have minded the time if I was going to enjoy the process, but I no longer saw the fun in it.

The revised plan is to cut strips from this print, part of Kim Schaefer's Dazzle fabric line for Andover.  As you can see, it goes perfectly with the inspiration for my latest sewing room re-do, a vintage metal tray.

Folded to fit under my one-inch slotted cutting guide, it was quick work to make the cuts.

There's enough variety in each strip that I think it will look just fine and not be boring.

I saved that collection of scraps and put them in a safe spot so I can use them in another quilt.  I recently attended a lecture by Amanda Jean Nyberg and picked up a copy of her Sunday Morning Quilts book.  Right now, I'm thinking Scrapper's Delight, made from quarter Log Cabins.  Of course, by the time I get to that bucket of scraps, I might have another revised plan.
