Yesterday---

 Yesterday the sashing, between the 91/2" squares, was started.  This meant my first experience with the big laundry basket of scraps.  I knew most of those were long strips, and I had decided that the sashing would be best in white.  This wasn't my first choice, but after seeing the pieces against the white background of the design wall, I knew that white was the right choice.  The colours seemed to come to life against the white.

But. while there was more than enough white in the laundry basket, it was in a variety of widths, and all needed pressing before it could be cut.  This meant that most of my studio time involved pressing and cutting, but the piecing is started and should be easily finished today.
