The plaid shirts I collected so far were joined by a few more and cut down to 1.5" strips.
 I'm sticking with blue/green/gray plaids, to keep it cohesive--they are seem to be the easiest colors to find in thin cotton (not flannel) shirts. I'm still not sure whether I want to do a simple diagonal strip block, or a log cabin. Have to wait and see what the light/dark ration is like.

I'm still not sure whether I want to do a simple diagonal strip block, or a log cabin. Have to wait and see what the light/dark ration is like. Strip of each shirt, and the 7" paper foundation. I use phonebook paper because it's free, and it tears away from the fabric easily. It's the fastest way to make strip blocks. If I make log cabins I probably won't use it.

This stitch is called the 'pea stitch' I think I'm going to alternate it with a looser stitch.

That last little bit of the lace making, is crazy. I've been crafting forever, doing wonky things mixing mediums and techniques but I think I'd go blind or mad doing that. Keep doing it, i want to see what it'll look like finished.
