Art Journey with a Quilty Voice:
I here Voices. The Voices tell me to cut up Fabric. Good Fabric. Into small pieces. Small interesting pieces.
Then the Voices tell me to put them back together again. In interesting ways.
.... I must Obey ....
Last night while watching TV I felt obligated to "create" something, but considering the dissaster that was the purse, I also wanted to keep it simple. So I cut some of my scraps up into square piles of 2", 3", 4", and 5". It went well!

I create Art & it happens to be with Fabric. I will make Scrappy Traditional quilts as Sew Therapy because I simply must just cut up fabric & sew it back together. I used to Paint...now I Quilt. Some have even been to Quilt Shows. I work professionally in Design because, like Art, it is Oxygen to me...

My current tv watching project is crocheting. Great use of your time!
Do you have specific plans for your squares?
Great use of your TV time!
Have you considered a Disappearing 9 patch? There's a tutorial here:

I used to be obsessed with saving every infinitessimal scrap left over from my quilts - had huge supernarket bags full in every corner. Got ruthless and cut them into squares which I keep in a cookie tin - have made ever so many really great quilts using these squares and beieve me, no matter how ugly a fabric is, in small doses in a scrap quilt it really sings!! And - bonus - got with it and threw the REALLY tiny resulting scraps out - O-U-T!!!
