Cutting strips......

Yesterday started out with a visit from a blogging friend who comes through my area a couple times a year.  She is the new owner of the African crooked cobblestones wallhanging so I didn't have to mail it. 
Later in the day I started cutting my Kaffe scraps from this box into strips for log cabin blocks.
I'm hoping to reduce the scraps in the box to half, but we all know what happens, they multiply somehow as we are digging through the box.
I'm trying to use up all of the left over precut batik strips from the last 3 log cabin quilts.  They work well with the Kaffe fabrics.  While I was cutting and sewing I watched 2 movies with my new Netflix set up.  I saw "The King's Speech" and "Billy Elliot".  I enjoyed both of them but the music in the second one was so loud compared to the talking so I had to keep adjusting the sound through it.  I got a lot of good suggestions of other things to watch from my readers yesterday.
I'm glad the second Amaryllis flower stalk got taller than the first one so the flowers won't bump into each other.
