good thing phoebe had a tune-up...it was a busy weekend for her! pulled out the tote with the 2.5" strips and removed lid gingerly....it was stuffed to the brim! and there were more in another shoebox....time to thin the herd!
and another stack is waiting to be sewn....
i'll need 143 blocks in all for a decent size tied quilt for donation and i'm just about halfway there...sewing these up is like eating M&Ms....lickety split and there is a pile of them (just the reverse with the M&Ms tho...LOL)....best part is the tote really shows a significant deficit. i also pulled all the pieces that were 6" long or less and cut them into squares....then separated lights/darks to make it much easier to get back to cutting more blocks.
this is my re-org week, one where put off tasks get done, some culling of no-longer-wants, getting out the winter quilts, attacking the budget and roughing out a sewing list for the first quarter, the ocean waves didn't get finished yet due to time out of quilting because of my eye procedure.
so thankful that another Christmas has come and gone and no family members lost due to pandemic. that alone is a huge blessing. despite concerns regarding family and friends that keep my prayers at the forefront, it was still a wonderful holiday!
You were very productive over the weekend--but then, you usually are. And it sounds like you have a busy week ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing a scrappy block blitz myself right now~ mine are 6" Maze blocks and they're also like munching M&Ms! (Great analogy). I'm going to let Lynnleigh play with mine and arrange them on the design wall.
ReplyDeleteafter seeing her doll's rooms i'd say that's an excellent idea!
DeleteSounds like you are right on track with projects! Happy New Year!
