#7 Is a Turtle Toy that I have not been able to get the concept through my head.

I will try again. 

#21 Is a Car organizer that turned out to be a pain to actually put together.

I will make this happen.

I love it, so it should be done and maybe DD can take it to college with her.

Progress

I worked on the FROG quilt and it is where it is going to be.

Colors in this are not accurate.

It is much lighter than this shows. 

Made a pillow or it could be used as a table topper from the leftovers from the HST wedding quilt.

Book It

This is the leftover block from the quilt that is on my bed. 

It is now on the nightstand on my side of the bed. 

FROG quilt on step further.

I'll put one larger border on and call it done.

Work on Music Quilt

design wall

The music quilt will be a courthouse steps with different colord in the project.

It is a masculine quilt, so it is more difficult for me. 

These are my BOM/W projects.

I'm testing the one on the right and have the directions to finish it.

I'll be working on that this week to see if I can have another finish. 

FROG needs to be done.

I don't like any of the flowers I made, so it will just have to add different borders to make it happen and be done with it.

Check out other design walls at Judy's site.

OMG Done

Stayed up and finished the binding last night.

My OMG is done.

I have a few squares left, so I have a pillow to make.

I wish I would have more time and focus to quilt more.

Seems I am too busy and then too tired.

I need to see about balancing things better this coming week.

Organization Challenge

Prairie Moon is Challenging us to pick some items from A Quilting Life Organization listing.

I think it would be helpful to me to just start at the top of her list and do them in order.

So, the first two are:

Day One: Take a "before" picture and list your works in progress.

Here are my before photos

From the staircase side of the room.

I have one box there that needs to be done.

I am procrastinating because it is mostly papers.

My string containers need to be used and focused on. 

My pressing table is being used now, so it is a bit messy.

The under table looks messy, but it is organized with the things I have on lists to complete this year. 

My cutting table has those pieces of batting stacked behind it.

I with I had a better way to handling them, but this works.

I have not done enough quilting this year to use them up.

My listings of UFOs and things I want to get done each month are located on this blog.

I update them and a word document each time something changes.

Day Two:  Make a "to do" list of projects you want to make. 

My to do list is in the upper right hand corner of my blog.

I need to update it for March.

Winter Solstice

This is last week's block.

It's a bog block, with borders, it would be a baby quilt size. 

My Winter Solstice blocks.

I still need to make the one for this week.

Today we are off to Texas State to check out the college for DD.
