I'm being productive by making lists. I'm joining Tuesday To Do. I am working on my Scrap Crystals quilt (a Bonnie Hunter pattern in her book More Adventures With Leaders & Enders.) I started this project back in 2015.
I remember making all of the little sub assemblies (four patches). Then I put them all in a shoebox and took them camping with us. I cut up an old picnic table cloth into large squares. I arranged the sub assemblies on them. The fabric pieces stuck to the table cloth like magic. It was easy to stack and fold in half and fit back into the shoebox. I could work on it in the RV while the others were still sleeping.
My only problem is that I couldn't find my book today. I know I have all of Bonnie's books. Where could it be? I just cleaned off my shelves and put away all the magazines that didn't have sticky notes marking projects I wanted to do someday. I kept busy sewing together the sub assembly units.
FINALLY, I looked in one more box. There was the marked up pattern. Sometimes I photo copy the pattern so that I can write all my notes in it and cross things off. I was sooooo happy to find it. Then I found the notes of the REST of the patterns in that same book that I want to make. I'm going to try to finish this one before tempting to start another. The sub assemblies went very quickly today. I'll be moving on to sashings in no time. Oh how I love organized progress!
This week I hope to accomplish the following things:
1. Make all of the Scrap Crystal star blocks (from above).
2. Clean the top of my desk by cutting the pile of scraps into 1.5" Accuquilt squares.
3. Pull light/bright blue solids for Full Stop asterisk block row.
4. Longarm quilt my Soul Searching quilt.
5. Put away green scraps and get out more light/bright blue scraps for Stay Centered quilt.

I am a list maker too. Sometimes the list is in my head, but I do like to write them down so I don't forget something. Your to do list is a good one. My list is a bit shorter - dig out the rest of the ornamental grass and work on the t-shirt quilt. That black and white quilt will have to be put aside for now - again.
Here's hoping that your list making works magic on your quilting process. I make lists and promptly LOSE those lists!
Those are pretty blocks, looking forward to seeing the finished flimsy! Happy stitching!
How great to pull out a UFO to finish. Lists are so encouraging! Glad you found your pattern/notes!
Me too! I was worried I'd have to go through the six boxes of things I cleaned out of the sewing area. There are a lot of books in there!
I can't wait either. I'm happy that I'm excited about working on this again.
Since I put my list on my blog I don't have that excuse. I can just go back to the Tuesday post. Hint hint, you can join us. LOL.
I love using my Google calendar for my other things like projects I have to do outside. Good luck working on that t-shirt quilt. You make awesome t-shirt quilts.
Those are great blocks - looking forward to seeing how they go together! Being familiar with BH quilts, I know there will be something interesting happening!
Also, I didn't know that button was on my phone on Google calendar. I push the plus and then the goal button. It schedules three walking workouts for me. After I complete them (and edit when I do them) it starts to learn when I like to do them. It's somewhat motivating.
Sometimes I think we need a librarian to keep track of our patterns! LOL. Good luck with your weekly list. Thanks for linking up today!
Don’t you just hate it when things get misplaced? Glad you found your book and pattern! Scrap Crystals is a great quilt!
I think the sashings on this quilt really make it unique. I put one block together I it really pulls out the stars.
Where is the adventure in having a pattern!!??? haha , glad you found the book and I love the list making on To do Tuesday too!
Stay safe and sew on!
I may or may not have lost my scrap crystals pieces - good idea
Your Scrap Crystal blocks are so pretty, Kathy and what a clever idea on using a tablecloth to keep your pieces organized while camping. Great tip . So glad you found your book;lol I have been there done that. Loved reading your to do list also. Have a fantastic week, dear.
