When I first started cutting these strips I put them in plastic bags to keep like with like. I hate sorting through the mess when I want a different width of a particular fabric. Anyway, I decided to be more Bonnie and just throw them all in there willy-nilly and even let them get folded and twisty (eek).
I did a wee bit of sewing the other day. Found I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to piece. I'm totally enamored with hand quilting right now, so I guess I'll just keep at that.
In my last post I included a picture of an Egyptian date palm. Well here is a Florida palm tree with a completely different kind of fruit. I have no idea what it is.

I have two laundry bags in my studio for scraps. When the door is open you will usually find a cat in each of them. There are a lot of claw holes but I think it is so comforting to look in there and see a lovely feline face smiling up at me. Unfortunately my cats love to get into the laundry baskets. They are discerning though - they never go for the dirty laundry - only the clean.
I have similar issues as you know with hand quilting. It is addictive and sometimes even when I want to piece I will pick up the hand quilting instead. I figure it is our time we should spend it in the most enjoyable way at the moment.
Hope you are staying well.
I have one cat in particular who loves clean laundry... so much so that I have a quilt I cover the alundry basket with so the cat can't burrow into it :-)
Hope you find the tangled strips work well. I know I find things a lot less planned and more random when I just use what I reach for...
I've always wanted to taste fresh dates but never have. I love dried ones so I assume I'd like fresh ones even better.
My comment on palm trees is usually "I must be a long way from home". Lol.
Coconuts?
Palm trees are my absolute favorite. There is something so relaxing and tropical about them. And I think poor little Lilly needs to come live with Chloe and I. She is soooo cute!
My two buys know the sound of the dryer door opening and come running! I have to fight them to keep them out of jumping in the dryer when I'm throwing in wet clothes! I don't stop them when the warm clothes come out. I just keep taking stuff out and shaking off the fur as I fold until it's empty and they jump out!
Hey Tonya - those are definitly coconut palms - lots of those around in the sunny south.
