OK, I have my construction quilt sandwiched and ready to handquilt...it will go into Never-Never Land where I will quilt it and others at 15-30 minutes at a time. No big hurry, can "sandwich" those projects within others.
Now, back to the list. For those who do not want to go back and look, here is a quick progress and the shortened list, as it stands today:
1) handquilt blue/white quilt - working
2) 3) and 4) pillowcases and construction top (sandwiched) - DONE
5) and 6) 2 quilt tops to put together - waiting
7) and 8) freemotion and mystery quilts - following
9) crazy quilt - slowly inching its' way up the list.
My next project is to start sewing the blocks together on (5).
I really liked the idea,,,she went a little further than just telling what size and shape to cut your stash. So I am going to try and follow her example. She showed how a pile of pieces came together in a nice manageable order in one weekend. Mine will take longer than a weekend, because I do not intend or ever hope to accomplish that in a marathon cutting and sorting frenzy. And I am not going to put the task on a list...it would stay there for a year!
I figure working a little each day or so, 15-20 minutes, or 2 or 3 fabrics a day, will start to whittle down the mounds of fabric laying all around. Here is the before picture of what I will be working with (I have more!).
Maybe I'll award myself extra time cutting when I finish something or reach a goal.
