After the photo, I separated the charm pack into six piles (again, didn't even look at them individually), and cut three 1 1/2" strips from each square. I then cut 2 inches off each 1 1/2" x 5" strip.
To perpetuate the random theme, I jumbled both piles up,
and chain-sewed the pieces back together several times--trying not to even think about color combinations except to make sure that two like colors never touched each other (can this still be counted as random)? It was fun to discover the fabrics as I went along--sort of my own little mystery quilt, I guess. I had intended for this to be a table runner, but I think it is evolving into a small quilt. Here is what I have so far:
I've been playing a lot with the arrangement. I'm going to put them on a brown background--we'll see how the finished product ends up looking--a mystery all around. Sometimes it's fun to just create without a lot of thought. I've been doing a lot of heavy duty brainwork lately (Click here to find out why) and it was lovely just to relax and sew!
What do you think???

I love it! I can't do random so I admire people who can. Everything looks great together and it looks like it's going to be fabulous!
I'm surprised you are not too sick of fabric to sew. That is a great sign! I think it will turn out great.
Wow!! Looks great!! You inspire me!!
Are all the flowers growing up? I would have to do a project like that blindfolded.
It looks great!!
i should do this with my scrap box...sounds so relaxing...have fun arranging!
I think it's going to be a great looking quilt! I love how random it is - although, like others, I am not so good at randomness.
OK YEAH! Right about now your amazing! Love it. Love your style so cute!
