Now I have been sick all night and morning and actually after getting to boys off to school, I went back to bed and slept until 10am. Now that is something that I never do. I know you don't want to hear me whine, but I feel terrible. Actually, it is 1:30 and I am still in my nightgown. I need to get my butt in gear and shower and start dinner soon. Anyway, back to quilting....I don't really feel much like sitting at the machine today so I thought I would try to get my strips ready. Since my fabric is stored in the bedroom and hubby goes to bed around 6pm I went in sat on the bed with my scissors and started cutting off fabric. I pulled out a tote and cut 2 strips off of EVERYTHING in it! I will try to cut them to size tongiht if I feel better. I cut enough for 78 strips, so I still need 50 more. I didn't really feel like sorting through my fabric so I just decided that "ANYTHING WOULD GO"
Now you can see in the left of the photo I did start cutting some of the strips to size, I think only 28 of them. The rest will have to wait until tonight. I was in bed last night thinking about this quilt and thought about doing it all in the same color family but quickly changed my mind this morning when I felt so bad. Who knows how this will turn out, it may be sooooo ugly. Oh well, if it is I will stop at the lap quilt size and donate it to someone!!!!

It's definately going to be a scrappy quilt! Good luck getting all the strips cut.
That jsut seems like too much sewing to me for a scrap quilt!! I think I'll work on other stuff on Sunday and wait to see how everyone elses come out!
Don't push yourself...if you don't feel well - then just don't do anything.
It won´t be ugly, just scrappy. I hope you will feel better soon.
I love scrappy....I think scrappy is great. I like how scrappy quilts look older to me. Sorry you are feeling so bad today. Not a great day here either, but I'm not sick....
Hang in there...feel better

Kristie, glad you are doing the BargelloBowl too! Yours will be more true to Bonnie's pattern. I remember that you made one when Joanna was telling us how when we were on My Quilt Blog. Can you give me a link to that so I can see it again. I am wanting to do my Bargello in several shades of only two or three colors - I think! Don't know how much I will get done on it on Sunday - DH may want me to watch the game with him.
