I finished the broken dishes top today and pieced the backing, so it is all ready to quilt. Not perfect, but it will keep someone warm for sure.
Then, as I was cleaning up my mess, I found a bunch more blocks already made - 30 of them and a ton of blocks that were already cut out. So, I sat down and started stitching them together. This is what happens when you fail to plan. I had been cutting out blocks and stitching them together just for fun. Then I found a whole container of blocks that I had cut out previously.
So, now I have enough blocks for another whole broken dishes quilt. I just need to cut about 20 more lights to go with the darks. And from here on in, I will PLAN instead of just slapping things together! I really wasn't in the mood to make two of the same quilts one right after the other!
So, speaking of planning:
I now have a plan! My goal for 2022 is to use up as much of this fabric in this cabinet that I can. There is going to be a lot of red in the next few quilts! I think this cabinet probably has the oldest fabric I have, so it's time to use it up. I have an idea for another quilt for the homeless using the red and the lights too.
And on another note:
My grandson has been playing in a 2 day volleyball tournament this weekend, and his team are the champions! Congrats AJ!
Until next time....blessings.
