30's reproduction scraps & pieces - ack!

 Good day, and welcome to my blog, and my overwhelmed sewing area.

I have been sewing through my 1800's reproduction scraps and strips, making Duckworth blocks.  There is a dent in my storage boxes.

Next:  my 1930's and 1940's reproductions scraps and pieces.  I have three larger-than-shoebox sized containers and a plastic bag of pieces, squares, and strips.

Even a partial jelly roll:

I also unearthed a quilt top that I do not recall making!  Or when I did.  It's pre-Covid, for sure.

What to do?  I recently finished a 2021 quilt top using a pattern called Three at a Time.  It's a jelly roll patten using 2.5 inch strips.  I had a number of these strips already cut in the boxes.  I could cut more and set with unbleached muslin.

Here I am in progress.

But oh no!  Even with 30 - 40 different fabrics in this quilt, the same green fabric ended up next to another piece. (upper right)

I left it in.  Setting fabrics together randomly, it's bound to happen.  True:  If you have a group of 30 people or so, two people will have the same birthday (day, not the year).  Statistically it's bound to happen.  So a fabric piece will touch the same fabric.

Top in progress:

And, I made a doll quilt with some leftovers, about 16 by 20 inches:

Still, I have a lot of fabric left.  I have another pattern picked out.  I must find yet more patterns and sew faster.
