Tonight I went to Quilt Block Party with determination that I would quilt my table topper for February's UFO and get the binding sewn on front. I did it!
I was able to find a back in my stash that goes well with my theme, left-over binding from a previous project that coordinated, and I pieced together some batting pieces from other projects instead of buying more batting. I am so excited when I get to use from my stash and save money.
When I came home tonight I folded my yellow and brown fabrics (I don't have tons of those colors) and then started turning the binding on the table topper. Tomorrow I want to really make progress on the binding and maybe finish my folding of the separated colors. I bought more comic book covers also last night so I'm ready to tackle the next big containers of fabric.
On the organization front, I've been thinking about how to organize my strips once I start cutting them. I have a couple of plastic 3-drawer systems that might work, but I would have to clean them out first. My sewing room is in DIRE need of a clean-up and I might need to spend my 15 minutes there a couple of days this next week.
Although February is not over yet, I'm already thinking about March's project. I have a project on my list that I'm thinking of changing because I think I'm setting myself up for failure. I could scale it back slightly to make sure that it is do-able, but I think I'll wait until the number is called to decide. A lot will depend on if it's pulled before or after the hand-piecing class is finished.
