Well, I really need to get some tops quilted!
The extra motivation that
may help get me there is
coming from OMG (One Monthly Goal) at
I am going to make my November goal to pin
and quilt at least 2 tops!
Combined with cleaning up my scrap disaster,
this goal should keep me busy as
we chug into the holiday season!
These are the two beauties
I am going to work on!
( look at the white corners and you will see it).
It measures 82 x 84 .
It measures 82 x 91.
They are both hanging in my flimsy vault
right now. It is getting impressive in size!
Here is the scrap disaster
I need to tame. Argh , no judgement please!
Full disclosure , there are also a number
of TUBS that are filed with scraps but..
baby steps!!
has resulted in the sizes to cut:
Strips- 1 1/2", 2 1/2" and 31/2 " min 12" long
Any 1 1/2" strips shorter than 12" go to crumbs or toss.
The wider strips shorter than 12" go to
Bricks - 2" x 3 1/2", 2 1/2" x 4 1/2"-6 1/2", 3 1/2" x 6 1/2"
Squares- 2", 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 5", 10"
Strings - anything more than 12" & less than 1 1/2" wide
I will attempt to keep
a smallish container of crumbs too!
Wish me luck !
Stay safe and sew on !

You'll receive no judgement from me, Deb!! I've got at least as many scraps in my studio. Maybe more!!
ReplyDeleteI just made myself a cutting cheat sheet! I hope it helps!
Delete"The flimsy vault"-- I love it! There are a lot of treasures waiting there. Good luck with the cutting!
ReplyDeleteNo judgment here either! I'm tackling a huge pile of strings this month!
ReplyDeleteI love your scrappy Stretched Star. I made a Fall wall hanging with this pattern. One of my favorites. And thanks for your cutting plan. I have a large bin that I need to get to. And I also have a "flimsy vault" (an armoire). I don't have as many flimsies but I keep adding every month!
ReplyDeleteHa! At least you are organizing your scraps and have a plan on how to use them. I say that's good progress! Good luck with your OMG. I think quilting those two quilts is very achievable! Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
