I sewed, I slashed, I sewed again. I inserted strips and sewed on pieces.
Then I finally squared it up and added a border.
What will it be? At this point I don't know and it isn't important. My spirit of play was released and it reveled in creating. Perhaps this piece will become part of a quilt - or maybe a decorative pillow. There is a possibility I may just quilt it and add some embellishment and let it be a wall hanging.
Do you allow yourself playtime? It is important to the creative spirit to play without being judged. So turn off the critical voices in your head and play.
This playtime was inspired by Rayna Gillman and Victoria Findlay Wolfe. Each of them have written books about playing with scraps that I find truly inspirational.

I love the results of your day of play. I "play" much of the time and it is in those moments of play that I usually come up with my best ideas.
Good advice, Gene. Right now I am so focused on finishing projects, or at least making progress on them, that I'm not really 'playing.' I'll get there though.
