what if# 80: sheer overlay

Birth_up_close_2 sheers can be used for see-through panels in fabric pieces but i was thinking also what if (?) they could just be used to change the tone and texture of a background. used here as  a softener and base for embroidered  motif. used here   

margaret ramsay has also done some interesting posts on sheers. here and here.

what if #73: color blankets

Color_blanket_one spring has sprung if only as a fever. and i've got it. the urge toward spring cleaning had me thinking what if i sort all my scraps by color and sew them together in color groups. it will be an easy way to see them and find what i need. ten minutes into it i knew i was going to like it. i started with red-ish. i guess i will make them as big as they become....and take it from there.
i am machine piecing because these will probably be cut up over time. it is quicker to put them together this way.
