I thought that in order to keep me moving along I need to report my progress - either on a daily basis - OR on a several times a week basis.....
After I did 15 minutes of clean up (definitely NOT long enough, by any means!), I grabbed the directions to the Scrap Bag quilt. And promptly got lost in the directions! I mean, it sounds so simple.... Cut x number of inches from the selvedge edge. Well, does that mean with Selvedge ON or with selvedge cut off? As in, I would cut the selvedge off and cut the strips lengthwise - which is what she wanted. BUT she didn't say that! The strips ARE to be cut lengthwise but why didn't she just simply say so???? Ugh!!!!
Anyway - I cut and prepared as much as I could (so far - I definitely have LOTS more to do!) Because I KNEW I wasn't going to finish in one day and ... uh, because I know me - at least well enough that I know I would have NO idea what on earth I was doing - I bagged each of the 3 print fabric groups (Binding strips, posts, and blocks and sashing). HOPEFULLY I won't get things confused all over again!
This is one small group (66) of the granny square backgrounds (yes, that is muslin - I'm using stash and felt that with the fall scrappy look, the muslin blended so much better than a dead white!)
Then I got sidetracked! Don't even know what I sidetracked on - but that was it for the evening!
