I just printed this pattern out yesterday, you've inspired me (plus I have lots of 2" squares)!

Actually my shoulders have started bothering me when I spend too much time at the computer, but the sewing machine doesn't bother me that much. Probably because I keep getting up and down to go to the ironing board. Plus, I only do what I'm in the mood for at the moment. IOW, I do things in groups--but I will often sew for 1-2 hours (if I can) at a time, but sometimes it is only 20 minutes until an English student comes over when I will have to go downstairs.

Plus, my machine sews pretty quickly now (Janome Horizon7700)...so I can sew faster than I used to be able to. ;0 That helps.

But my motivation is to try to get to the floor of my sewing room. I've been doing so many scrappy tops--all since last year, trying to work my scraps down. And I have managed to get them down so it isn't so scary.

I also wanted to add that I'm not usually using 2" squares--I'm using 2" strips and sewing two strips together and then trimming them into 2" segments. I throw them all into a box and pull them out and sew them randomly together for a 2x2 square. Working with 2" squares would take longer and I'm not in the mood for slow...not right now.
