Making Plans

| quilting kits January 2022 |
It’s probably obvious to regular readers that my sewing/quilting has been nonexistent since early November. I had six QOV finished but waited until after the holidays to request a volunteer longarmer. I didn’t want to have a larger stockpile of quilts, so I picked up my knitting needles instead.
As of last week, two of the six QOV are in Texas (thank you, Linda S.) being quilting, and two more are in the request queue. I feel more comfortable starting some new projects.
I pulled all the panels I have (thanks, Sue O.) and paired them with patterns/ideas and tucked them into project bags. I pulled scraps and orphans that have been around too long and found patterns. They also went into project bags. I numbered the bags 1 - 12, rolled the die, and assigned them a month.
January’s project will use four printed blocks (thank you, Connie H.). I have the fabric pulled for the pattern, so it’s ready to cut.
If I finish a project quickly, I’m giving myself permission to start the next project.
Great organization plan. I can understand not wanting too many quilt tops waiting in the wings for quilting. I'm glad you were able to get a couple of them in the hands of volunteer quilters.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are set for a year of fun quilting - enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThat will definitely keep you busy. I can't wait to see them done.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteYou rock!
ReplyDeleteI love those zip bags for organizing my cross stitch. I never thought about them for quilting projects.
ReplyDeleteagree. Zip bags are awesome. They keep my cats out of my yarn if I need to step away. !
ReplyDeleteYou are so organized...it is fun to contemplate what we are going to do in this new year!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant planning. I'm excited to see the beautiful quilts that you make this year. I wish I were half as organized.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Sounds like a good plan! I should at the minimum make a list. It will be fun to see your results!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea--I should try it because I waste time trying to decide what I feel like working on!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a new top on your blog soon!
How organized you are!! And knowing you ...you will accomplish your goal!!
ReplyDeleteJust look at those projects ts all nice and next in their bags! Rolling the Dice, good on you.
ReplyDeleteMeant to write, neat, not next.
ReplyDeleteI have used that same form to list 12 UFOs to either finish or move forward this year. There is a Facebook group that is sponsored by American Patchwork that encourages and cheers on this UFO challenge. I’ve joined in this year. I don’t get on FB often but I thought it might help me finish up a few of these older projects. Where did you find the project bags? I have plastic boxes that fit under my cutting table. But I have way more projects that are stuffed into ziplock bags and into bins. And then there are the gatherings of fabric and pattern . . . It’s a never ending joy and frustration — all sorts of plans that are in progress then get set aside. Hum, might be time to go work!
