Room Cleaning

Today's Block Count: 0

It was another day of not doing much sewing (translation: I didn't touch my machine...unless my elbow bumped it while I played Minecraft).

I tried to jumpstart my sewjo, by pulling for another quilt. It will use several of my charm packs (I'm a sucker for Missouri Star Quilt Co.'s Mystery Charm Packs) and just be a Half Square Triangle Quilt. The idea in pulling those out was that then I wouldn't need to cut to start on the project...hence the jumpstart. Then they just sat there because I didn't want to break open the packs...doh. I also discovered that my charm pack collection really has exploded with my purchases of these Mystery Charm Packs.

 They include all different brands. In fact, the ones I pulled (top picture) include: Riley Blake, Windham Fabrics, Moda, RJR, and Benartex. And I think it's going to be an awesome quilt...that will not just measure baby-sized...but Twin or Queen...simply because I had enough charm packs that I think will work together. (And there were others that could be paired for other quilts, too.)

I'm also now contemplating 2 other new quilts as well. This is part of why I usually just keep sewing...If I stop...I start several new projects...oops.

I can't open them either. They are so precious
