REDdy to go ! Sneaking up fast !

 January is flying by ! 

Lots to do and lots going on !

New house , cold weather and some travel!

( In country only so no worries!!)

Getting lots of stitching done too 

so that is a big bonus.

First off , I almost have a scrap 

management plan. After years of 

trying to follow along and embrace 

other schedules, mine has emerged. 

I have many scraps in bags separated by color. 


I follow along with RSC 22 color of 

the month and wrangle that scrap bag 

into a big clear bin.



 Then I fire up the iron, press, sort, sew

 and trim into various units and shapes. 

These string blocks are perfect for 

many designs so doing up these 

will replenish my block bank .

 The color family 

blocks always delight the eye!

I am also cutting my scrap list and 

putting the pieces into labelled bins. 



  
There are also big bins of mixed colors to sort

They are getting sorted by colors into the 

color bags. Slow and steady should have them 

redistributed by year end, ever hopeful!

For now, here is the progress . 

Lots of string sets sewn up :



Labelled boxes with squares and 

strips:



Crumb blocks of all colors:





Scraps bags are labelled and straightened:

and here are bins and bags to sort!



Some regular sewing was completed this week too!
I made a good start on the Stop & Goes ( Leaders & Enders)
for the B Hunter hourglass quilt. 
I don't have nearly as many white background 
prints as I thought!









The 6" wide red coin strips were combined
with some lights strips sets from the 
block bank to make a good start on a 
red coin quilt!




Excited with the first month of color!
What's up next!?!
