cutting strips

Last night I was doing clean up cuts on some batiks and then cutting my regular variety of strips for my bins. Here are the 2 bins of 1.5" batik strips, double layer in both boxes. Every time I open these boxes I want to start another log cabin quilt. This is that LAST painted lady photo that I took a few days ago. I love the spiky flowers in the lower left portion.
Yesterday there was a different butterfly, smaller than the yellow ones.
I wanted one more picture of the 2 colors of asters together. I saw a lot of volunteer plants along the edge of the garden by the sidewalk but I wasn't sure if they were balloon flowers until yesterday. I think it will get warm enough today for it to open.
They are promising us some 70 degree temperatures all next week. I'm glad because I'm not ready to pay a heating bill yet.

    It is wonderful seeing you "stop to smell the flowers," Wanda. You are finding beauty in the tiniest of things ~ things that can only be seen if you are slow and still and quiet.

    Those strips look great to start at quilt with at any time. I have already had to turn the heat on in our home. It has gotten very chilly at night time, and has stayed cool in our home during the day.

    That's a lot of cutting. I'm sure something wonderful will come of it.

    The bins full of strips look like a quilter's candy store! They're inspiring just by themselves!
