Tuesday ToDo #13

Thanks to ChrisKnits for hosting the Tuesday ToDo. Last week my goals were:

1.    Finish the first set of 24 blocks for the Finger Lakes log cabin quilt. X

I didn't finish this project. I got distracted by more pressing house tasks.

2.    Cut up wool scraps into 6" squares.  ✔︎

I spent a lot of time—too much time—on this project. I had intended to only cut up the wool scraps, but once I started sifting, my hoarding gene kicked in and I started cutting up the linen and brocades too. 

Since I haven't finished cutting up all the scraps, this project continues.

I also had a bunch of canvas scraps leftover from making canvas bags and I decided to cut them up into rectangles to make tote bags, combined with denim, in a running bond pattern.

For next week, my goals are:
2.    Finish cutting up the fabric scraps and pack them up. 
3.    Cut up sentimental T-shirts I set aside for a quilt. (Just cut out the relevant parts to conserve storage space. Not making the quilt yet.)
4.    Finish the first set of 24 blocks for the Finger Lakes log cabin quilt.

  1. I'm having to wear my wrist brace again after doing too much cutting :(

    1. I can sympathize. I try to only cut for a couple hours at a time then I go do something else for a couple hours before I return to cutting. I've been having some shoulder aches from using my scanner in an awkward position.

    1. I hope so. At least the scraps will take up less space.

  3. Hi Sharon! You did a great job cutting up all those blocks. I try to keep up on my cutting of scraps - I keep them right on my mat so that they stay in my way! Your idea for a canvas and denim tote sound like a fab idea. How do you like doing the to-do list? I see you've only been doing it a few week. I hope you find it to be helpful to stay more focused on what you want to work on. Happy Thursday! ~smile~ Roseanne

    1. I've been enjoying having a list. It does help keep me on track. I do still wander off sometimes, like last week, but it has mostly worked.
