Well, it's week 2 and I can show you that at the end of week 1, my project bag looked like this:
I have here large envelopes with all of my projects cut out and ready to go . . . HST for 2 baby quilts, strips of red, white, and blue for a QOV log cabin quilt, Bonnie's Blues, 4 blocks for my version Rose of the Sharon Quilt, 3 blocks for Farmer's Wife Sampler, black/white and orange for the Dare to Dresden Challenge.
So I was ready to hit the ground running today, and I felt like I had a very productive day. I had 64 squares (50 were from a charm pack) which I stitched into 128 HST, enough for 2 baby quilts.
I did not originally have the baby quilts in mind to do - but I found out Thursday that I would be going to a baby shower at the end of next week, so I thought I'd better slip it in. By doing the HST, I was able to utilize some charm fabric I had sitting around for quite a bit, adding some extra pieces here and there from my stash - and after cut, it left me with double. I'll stitch up the second quilt and take to guild meeting. Our outreach program has several venues we currently donate to. Our local hospital requests quilts for the babies in the NICU - they cover the incubators with the quilts to shield the babies from the lights. The quilts then go home with the little ones when they are finally able to leave with their family. :) I have all the rows stitched, wanted to layout them one more time to make sure everything is turned the way I intended - LOL. Will stitch the rows together tomorrow and hopefully get them basted.
