To Do: A belated report

Checking in with the March list:

Must do:
Rainbow Charm Swap - Done. I can't wait to get them back!
Purple Haze Quilt (in order to count for 1st Quarter Finish Along) - I did trim all the blocks and begin piecing the top.

Oh My Stars QAL - I got all the squares marked, but since they've been languishing in their stacks.



Stained QAL - I've cut all my prints! And I began cutting sashing. I'll probably need more, but I want to start piecing.



I made no progress on the things I said I might do...

I did well on my excuse though! I kept up with my class through the end of March. (This past weekend, not so much...)

My additional excuse for not sewing more is: I had an out of town interview and have since spent many hours researching relocation - apts, things to do, etc...

This coming month I expect to be mostly consumed by packing and maybe studying. Although, if I drop the course, there will be more time for sewing and posting. ;)

To Do:

I love lists! They're one reason I want (need?) a smartphone. I was going to show you my pile of scrap paper lists, but I thought better of it - not very photogenic.
Anyway, until the day I can justify paying for a data plan, little slips of paper are my portable project queue. As for a master copy, I'm going to try this.

 

Here's my excuse (up front) for not getting as much done as I hope to:
I signed up for an online course in electrical engineering that begins tomorrow.
(I'm sure I'll be able to come up with additional excuses as needed at the end of the month.)

Must do:
Buy yellow fabric and cut charms for this massive rainbow charm swap.

Purple Haze Quilt (in order to count for 1st Quarter Finish Along) - I still need to trim all my blocks, then assemble the top, quilt and bind.

Squaring up my blocks just seems so dull and daunting...

Oh My Stars QAL - I'm even further from finishing this one.

Next step: mark the diagonals...

I think my goal for the month is just to keep doing bits here and there. Slow and steady wins the race, right? Except that I believe several others have already posted their finishes to flickr. Oh well.

Stained QAL - Get cutting!


I complicated matters by choosing directional prints and buying 1/4 yd cuts from the blot instead of fat quarters...

Might do:
Sew Out Loud QAL - I haven't started any of these yet, but they are awesome! I do have some text fabric on hand...
Farmers Wife - I haven't started this either. Again, I've got fabric set aside for it.

Postage Stamp - Shouldn't be hard to keep cutting bits here and there. Hopefully I can participate in the April swap.

Granny Squares - I'm considering using some of my 2" postage stamp squares to try this out.

Fold and organize my stash by color
