Don't let a stack of pretty fabrics paralyze you... sometimes it is hard to decide exactly what to do. Well, first things first - pick a pattern, pick colors, start cutting. I was in no mood to do the 1st two things on that list, but I am in the mood to do some mindless chain sewing, so that forced me into action...
I went with mostly reds, a few oranges, a few pinks... when undecided about what to do - I repeat a favorite pattern. So - here is the beginnings of another Ocean Waves, not green this time, but red. Monochromatic scrappy - I love that look! It is easy too - no agonizing decisions about color choices - just grab a handful of 1 color family and make sure there are some "zingers" - a bit of contrast. I almost left out 2 of them, but decided they would really add a bit of fun to the quilt, so slice, slice!!! And up in the top corner, a little pile of scraps to add to my collection. Can't be a scrap quilter without scraps, right?

It's so pretty and vibrant... I love your 'just go for it' philosophy! I am eagerly looking forward to seeing more of this beautiful creation.
Can't wait to see this come together, Evelyn! It's looking spectacular already.
Can't wait to see the end product. It'll be a stunner for sure.
An Ocean Waves quilt would be so fun in reds. I want to make one too! I will do my best to control myself and finish up the things I have started.
