December was apparently a 'blue mood' month because all my scrap sewing was done with fabrics I pulled out of the Dk blue scrap bag when I needed to do something that didn't require a lot of thinking.
Front shown here, with the two outer pockets.
Back view of the bag.
While pulling the scraps for the walker bag I went through and pulled all of the short pieces, and those that were narrow or weren't prints that I hadn't used in forever to do string piecing on adding machine tape. I measured the length in the strips shown in this picture and total pieced length is almost 960 inches.
These strips finished off all the oddball scraps, and there is between 350 and 400 inches in these. I think I might have enough for a couple of quilts....lol.
Still to be done is to trim these strips down to a consistent 3" or 3.5" width and figure out what I want to do with them. I do have an idea for these, but need to do some sketching to see how things would look before sewing.

I've also gone through the light blue and teal/turquoise blue scraps and pulled out the small scraps and strips. And they are now sew together now.

Gratitudes:
1. For the house I inherited, even though the more I deal with things in the house, the more my plans on what I need to do to be able to live there change. Good to learn to flexibility in planning!

Using the shirt cuffs as the hanging loops for the walker bag is very clever, and looks so smart and finished. Those paper tape strips are making me want to get my paper tape out and use some of my scraps, but I'll have to suppress that urge until I get the Delft quilt done – and the move-around in my sewing room sorted!
