I'm not doing these in any special order, I won't know where I want to put them until I'm all done, I'm just numbering them for the sake of knowing how many I've done. :)
Okay next.... WWIT. (What Was I Thinking)...
My scrap and piece drawers the ones that have around a half yard or fat quarters or less - that I use for applique - are so tight I am having trouble getting more in. The last couple of years I've made some blocks and quilts with them, but they are still bulging. So I have a plan. I have 3-4 quilt types in mind that I can fit these scraps into.
1. I'm cutting Fat Quarters to use in Turning Twenty Quilts.
2. I'm cutting 5" Squares for On Point Charm Quilts.
3. 2 1/2" squares to make some kind of 16 patch Quilt such as a Good Night Irene Quilt.
4. 2 1/2" or other strips and be for the scrappy strip quilts.
Since my machine was in the shop I thought yesterday would be a good day to start cutting. OMG... WWIT. (What Was I Thinking) I cut all day and made progress but not a dent. LOL
There are some different sizes as well - 6 1/2", 4 1/2" and 3 1/2". I guess I'll figure out something for those when I get there.
I'm not convinced I will get every one of my scraps cut into these sizes - but every little bit will help. And since I will be making these into charity quilts - it's a win win.
I have some plans for some of my other stash for stash busting, but I'll write more about that later.
Today we're going to the gym, then cleaning up and going to pick up my machine. We also have pick up a couple things from the store. I doubt I will get a chance to do any sewing, but I'll work on getting some more Bee Blocks done.
Have a Blessed day -
Lynn
