There was a discussion between some of my non-sewing online friends over the last couple of days about work habits and how different personality types like their workspace/desk set up, and someone shared this interesting interview about tidiness or lack there of when it comes to being productive -

I relate to many things the interviewee (I think he's a British scientist) says and have many thoughts, but I want to let everyone read it first. We can discuss in the comments here. =)
And here's a free sticker I received with a notions order a couple days ago - #sewdontclean hehe!
I spent the day priming things for paint and then I remembered to shoot a quick video. #SewingStudioBuild
I started cutting all the edges while Janet was away yesterday morning. When she got back after lunch, she pulled out a roller and started filling in. I'll put a pic below in the comments. #SewingStudioBuild
We broke for lunch and then came back with a portal ac unit plugged in to an extention cord from the house. Can't wait until they finished hooking up all the electrical and we have the mini split cooling the room for us - it was stupid humid today! #SewingStudioBuild
So this is my plan for all those fabric covered triangles. Make eleventy million little triangles into a million slightly bigger triangles. Then make those into a bunch of hexagons and put them all together into a giant hexagon.
The last photo is my "map" once I've made all the triangles. Colored outlines are just so I can see the hexagons because I'll get better joins at the points if I assemble like this instead of long straight runs of rows of triangles. Plus it will be easier to hold smaller sections as I hand-stitch.
I think I only have about 150 papers left to cover with fabric, but I need to start laying what I have out to see if I need any specific colors (maybe some lighter highlights).
Any guesses what my inspiration is? I'll put the answer/photo in the comments.

I cut more fabric triangles and am in the process of basting them to the papers. We'll see how many more I need after I baste these. I'm guessing I'll still have about 200 or more papers left.

I still need about double this amount of triangles, but needed to lay them all out to see what colors I need more of. Definitely need some mid-tone blue and some more (solid) oranges. Might need a little pink/fuchsia and some almost white shades for highlights. I think I'm good with the amount of purple and green.
I'll share design inspiration eventually, but I have a plan and I think it's going to work! I might need to make more than I plan to use just so I can play with arrangement.
