scrap attack goal!

remember this from back in december?  and here's the list made back then for attacking said scraps:

1. cut up scrap basket scraps....empty basket
2. finish inchie project in progress using 1.5" scraps and empty drawer!
3. empty selvedge shoebox making potholders
4. assemble scrappy DWR flimsy using scraps
5. finish repro bricks project and empty drawer
6. pull out 2.5"strips shoebox and get a top done
7. sew up 4-patches using 2" squares already cut
8. cut orange peels from jo morton charms
9. finish up cheddar/indigo scraps on a wallhanging
10.  make flimsy triangle plaid scraps
11.  finish orange mod flimsy and empty shoebox
12. cut up scrap basket scraps...empty basket AGAIN!


so even tho slipped over a tad into february, the first scrap attack has ALMOST been completed and off the list.  i'm doing these in no particular order....and while still have to put the last 3 rows together and attach to the first 3, an empty shoebox is a good thing.  pondering which task to attack next, probably the scrap basket since it's beyond overflowing.  also want to send a big "thanks" to some of my stashbuster peeps who generously sent orange scraps so this could be made and glad to share if anyone needs some.  *** got a small UFO in the hoop as well as a large quilt, so will be working on those as well as a couple of sew-along blocks.   while shopping the stash for antebellum prints, once again realized i am just not sewing fast enough.  not buying fabric is only half of the equation of using up what's on the shelves.  now that betty has had her exercise, it's time for mine!
