Last week when I browsed through some other quilters’ Stash Report blogs, I came across Kate’s from Life In Pieces. She tracks how many days she gets at least 15 minutes of sewing. I thought that was a great idea and applied it to UFO’s. This week I tried to work on a UFO at least 15 minutes each day. After that, I could continue working on that project or move to another one. I liked that each day I would be moving forward toward a finish on the UFO.
When I left for Salt Lake City on Friday, I had accomplished this much on an old 3 Sisters UFO. The pattern is Lillian by Villa Rosa.
The easy part is finished. The hard part is going to be digging through the stash to find some border fabric. I’m pretty sure I bought enough yardage of the fabric in the block centers to also use for borders, I’m just hoping it didn’t go into another project. I used a jelly roll for the small squares in this quilt. It is another one I would like to revisit using all scraps.
Be sure to take a look at other design wall projects using the links at Patchwork Times.
What a great idea … so often I don’t sew because I think I don’t have enough time. 15 minutes? Hey! I can do that!
That is a great plan! I could definitely see progress after a week or so spending that small amount of time per day. Hope you find the fabric you seek!
Perfect scrap pattern! I like your 15-minute idea. I might have to apply that to some of my unfinished applique blocks. Like my Mary Lou chickens from … a VERY long time ago!
