It's the beginning of a new month already. That means I typically look back at my goal list and think about what goes onto the next goal list. I'm a list maker!!
Voila! Here are the finished placemats and mug rugs that used up most of the leftover Kaffe jelly roll. It is satisfying to see something useful made of leftovers so they don't end up increasing the quantity of scraps living in my sewing room. The binding of 2 red/white/blue placemats and some fun mug rugs should be done today. And there are a few others in the works as well.
I was on the hunt Sunday for a WIP, UFO or PIG that had a focus on teal as that is the new Rainbow Scrap Challenge color for April. And here we go - a fat quarter bundle with teal in the prints that was tucked in with that teal yardage. So, once I get the Pyramid blocks brought to the completed flimsy stage, this will be a good one to work on next.
The scrap bin holding every imaginable shade of blue and purple needed to be sorted, especially after I was digging into it for blue scraps for February. Teal was a bit on the stingy side, but I did manage to cut enough of the Dresden blades for 2 blocks. I think I'll use aqua ones to make at least 1 or 2 more.
As I was sorting that bin - still not completely done BTW - I found these purple Dresden blades near the bottom. They are even the same size as the ones I'm making now. Hmmm - wonder what I was planning with these. For now they are tucked into the project box with the others.
Looking back at March I realized it was a very productive month in spite of being gone nearly a whole week early in the month. I managed to get several block sets to the flimsy stage, and got 2 fairly large UFOs bound. I've share one of those earlier, and will share the other this week as soon as I manage to get a photo of it.

Bright and cheerful placemats!
Seeing your post, I was prompted to try to get back on track and start drafting my "To Do" list for this new month. Oooh, those Kaffe placemats and mug rugs are so gorgeous! Scraps rule! You did get a lot done for March so I'm sure you'll keep trucking along for April too!
Congratulations on completing most of the tasks on your list.
such bright colors look great!
Busy bee you've been! Doesn't it feel good to tick off most on your monthly to-do list? Love your bright and cheerful placemats and mug rugs.
The placemats and mug rugs turned out beautifully. Very bold colors, makes me think of Mexican food for some reason. Congrats on all the progress in March. For my part, I'm pretty sure the colder weather is what helped with my progress for the month. Fingers crossed April is just as productive for you.
