Now, where was I.....?

I have decided that I have an attention deficit issue, which has accelerated as I reach the end of my Nth decade. If I'm interrupted while I am working (task A), I figure I had better do the thing I was interrupted for (task B), before I forget. Then after I do task B I remember that I have Task C waiting for me...by which time I have forgotten about Task A.

My children are worried about me, and I tell my partner Phil to just put me away. But he laughs. So then I discovered that it's not dementia -- it's Fibro Fog. What a relief! I've had fibromyalgia for 30 years and now, for various reasons, Fibro Fog has descended:-(. It's kind of like Chemo Brain, which I had 20 years ago. SO - ADD has kicked in and I'm so relieved that it's not dementia. LOL.

BUT this is not what I set out to blog about.

I've been in the studio, truly unable to work. I get sidetracked cleaning up the mess and that's the end of that. So today, I am at home, thinking about getting some sewing done. But instead, I'm writing this. (probably task D). So here's task X... Showing you the genesis of a block so you are motivated to PLAY and cut up your orphan, boring, random, un-used experiments.

I have been on a triangle journey (intermittently) for quite a while. (IMPROV triangles, of course). I tend to work in spurts, making triangles like crazy and then putting them aside till I can figure out what to do with them. Occasionally, I look at the bag of random triangle blocks and use them to make a quilt.

Then there are the ones that make me wonder what I was thinking.

Bleh. so I stacked these two and decided I couldn't make them worse. (I was right).

DIGRESSION:

P.S. (Excuse the threads -- they are on everything.**An elegantly dressed woman once came up to me in the aiport lounge at LAX after I had just finished teaching. "Ex-cuuuse me, did you know you have a thread - uh...?" (and she pointed at my derrière). I said "oh, I'm not surprised." And she just stared at me, speechless. End of true story.

A few slashes later, some possibilities opened up.

I sliced a few other triangles I had lying around and added to the first two, sewing them together. Then what?? Uh - lots of options. I could have added strips around the outside - or who knows what else. Instead, I laid the reconstituted block down on a square of newspaper and added around it to see what would result.
