To Do Tuesday

The first thing on today's To Do list is to finish some cleaning in my sewing room that I started Monday afternoon.  And hopefully tomorrow I'll have a UFO project finish to show too.

These 2 plastic containers are now in the next box going to Goodwill.  The yellow one held all kinds of notions, with a tray on top for little things.  The green one was a thread caddy.  They were taking up valuable space on a shelf in my sewing room and not being used.  Gone!!

Once I get the rug vacuumed in my sewing room, then I can bring back in my comfy chair.  It had been stacked high with leftover batting pieces.  I'm going through that batting, folding neatly, and pinning a tag to each piece with the size listed.  That way when I need batting for a small project I can easily choose one that is just the right size without unfolding several.

The 12.5" blocks for month 1 of Saturday Sampler are all done.  These are pretty boring - just big half square triangles.  There are 8 of these total.  The blocks for the rest of the months are much more interesting - lots of stars and churn dashes in bright colors.

I've been doing the Riley Blake Design block challenge again this year, with my blocks all coming from the 30s fabrics I love.  There will be 16 blocks posted for this year, but I've decided to make extras in order to have a larger quilt in the end.  I've gone back into the previous years' patterns and chosen a couple of favorites to use along with the 2024 blocks. 

I'm really liking the second one of the extra blocks.  This week we'll get RBD24 block #12.
