RSC16

This is as far as I've gotten with the RSC16 challenge for this month.  As you can see I made 4 blocks in blue with purple accents.  Now what?  This will finish to a 30" square as a preemie quilt for our local NICU.  How are you doing?  I'd like to know.

Blessings!

Some of this, Some of That

First, the mystery quilting gift giveaway is ongoing.  Just go to the previous post to this one and check it out.

Using 1.5 yards to make another preemie quilt.  I'm also using my RSC2016 blocks for it. YTD total for destashing is now 2.0 yards. 

One down and three to go.


Slow stitching this week was mainly on my old quilt top and my hexies.  I have 4 centers to go and then I'll start on the sashing.







Then I decided to do Shelly's  Studio Organizing, Week 1 challenge - organize your papers. That's what I did.  I have (had) a box with files folders in it for the 30 years I've been quilting.  Hadn't looked at them in years, so I went through them and got rid of 90% of those clippings - they don't appeal to me any more, learned those techniques, etc.

 Half that pile on the plastic bin was on this box. It made my entry into the room so narrow.

 I consolidated it to one expandable folder. It's going into my quilting bookshelf so I'll be tempted to look in it more often. And that box is gone! Only 19 more to go (but they don't have papers in them).

Now I have lots of room to go in with my walker and no squeezing around that box.  Little by little!
