Another snowstorm! We had a few inches last Sunday. We had some more inches this Sunday. Neither one required much work to clear but they were both fun to watch. The grands all enjoyed some serious sledding. I spent time in the studio during the weather events.
First up let's see what the goals list looks like. It's not a great picture!
2/1/2021
Straighten cutting table, vacuum floor. Put fabric away ☑️ Some done but not finished. The Cutting table needs to be cleaned more.
Finish purple basket ☑️ Finally! See pics below
Make more RWB Ohio Star blocks☑️ 4 done. Not sure how many I'm working toward.
Quilt one of my quilts. Didn’t do anything.
Yellow RSC blocks and/or table runner - I’ve got an idea so its a start!
Here's my purple basket. I decided a while ago to make cloth baskets to hold my colored scraps. This is a different pattern but it looks like it will work just fine.

Quilt T Shirt Quilt
Work on Yellow table runner
Make some RSC blocks (yellow also)
Finish cleaning the cutting table
What did look great this past month is my fabric usage. I used more than I brought in! Whoopee! I'm curious how you account for wide backs since I bought 4 yards this month? Last year I decided I would add just one yard in but only count one yard used even if I got 2 smaller quilts on the width. This year I'm trying something different. I'm going to count each wide back yard as 2 yards. It seems more realistic to me. I'll see how I like it (and whether it's difficult to figure it out) this year and maybe adjust it next year.
2021 | Fabric In Month | Fabric In Year | Fabric Out Month | Fabric Out Year | Total In or Out Year |
Jan | 8.000 | 8.000 | 10.250 | 2.250 | 2.250 |
That should do it for this week's goal. I'm linking up to these Linky Parties: Oh Scrap, Monday Making, Design Wall Monday, and To Do Tuesday. Enjoy surfing this week.
Happy Quilting All! Bonnie
It sounds like you got a lot accomplished this week. I love reading your goal list each week. I like to write my goals down as well. The purple basket turned out fantastic and can not wait to see your next. I hope you did well with your vaccination shot. Have a very blessed week and happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteNice baskets! And nice to see the check marks on your list.
ReplyDeletecute baskets and great color coding idea....
ReplyDeleteIt’s a great idea to have colored baskets for scraps. My sewing room is tiny, so I wouldn’t have room for that system.
ReplyDeleteLove the baskets! And what a cool idea!

Love your baskets
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! Snow! Oh yes, we've had more than enough now but more is coming in tonight and tomorrow. Your purple basket looks so cute and nice next to that red one, which is quite full already! Do you plan to make one of most colors? Aha - a t-shirt quilt. I enjoy making those but they are a lot of work. I hope we get to see it all finished next week (or shortly thereafter, anyway). Thanks so much for linking up this week! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteNice job on your purple scrap basket, Bonnie! What pattern did you use?
