More grids! I need to figure out how to see the grid on the front even though I am doing the gridding on the back using thin ribbon in the bobbin of the machine. That’s why it has that great couched look, bright pink specks on dark purple ribbon. With the grid on both sides I could center the circles better.
A friend asked Why Circles? Why Blue? Good questions. I wanted to keep some kind of thematic unity for the month, and having a color and shape theme makes it easier to figure out what I can do do next. It all has to do with setting limits. With no limits, I tend to flail a lot, trying to decide what to do next. Limits get me thinking about how to interpret them, and how to submit to the letter of the law while flouting the spirit of the law.

Oh, flailing is the kiss of death. I flail almost constantly and it is for that reason I never seem to get anything really finished. Clearly, I need to come up with some set of rules, carve them in stone (there’s a project) and stick to them.
