There's something very comforting...

...about strip piecing.  It's almost mindless.  I've been making covers for all sorts of small appliances (see the Etsy shop for more images, if you're interested); this one is for a Kindle.  I like the front, but the back's even better...

I do love working with bright, cheerful fabrics, but they can take over in a small piece if you're not careful...so just as well to find fabrics that all sing, so that they can harmonize together!

PS Straight lines...?  Hmm... sort of...
