We are finally getting into a routine and getting life into a rhythm, and I got tons done this week!
Fifteen Minute Challenge - Organization
Slow and steady, I am getting my sewing room under control. I did my fifteen minutes every day this week: sorting scraps, folding bigger scraps, filing patterns and keeping the flat surfaces clear.
UFO Busting
Leah's post last week was about the snowball effect - working on little things to free up more time to work on the bigger things. So I looked at my stack of flimsies and picked Bad Romance because it was already halfway quilted.
Next, quilted a wall hanging for my mother. Binding is on and handstitching has begun.
Now I'm at the point that the next quilt done will probably be my Blogger's Quilt Festival Quilt....so I want it to be a good one. But also one that has a back picked already...which kind of limited it to Skorca!
Blocks
Grandmother's Choice, block five. It's a little chaotic, but I like it!
I found six of these blocks {leftover from Sunkissed Jewel Box} and made four into a pillow-sized block. Once I quilt the quilt version, I'll use leftover backing to finish off the pillow. The other two blocks...I don't know. Probably make a notebook cover or something.

Toyland Row Quilt had a few of the rows sewn together. I'm not in a hurry to finish it...only to add it to the quilting pile.
Design Wall - LQS Saturday Sampler 2011
I want this to be a Christmas gift, so I talked to my quilter and scheduled it to go to her on Nov. 15. Deadline!UFO Busting

No picture, but I finished another t-shirt quilt to the quilting stage! I should finish that off this week.
And finally, I started making these as leaders/enders, thanks to a tutorial on the Sew Lux blog.
Wow! That's a busy week! - beautiful work and great candy corn too!
