I did a lot of binding this week so there are some finishes to report, although I've already shown a couple of those finishes.
One more doll quilt has been finished. This one had been sandwiched for several months, but not quilted. That owl fabric was left over from a baby quilt - and there is still more of it in the "novelty kid print" drawer, waiting. The block was from a 3-yard quilt book by Fabric Cafe.
These placemats are also done. There are a couple more that are quilted but without binding yet. My donation pile of placemats is getting bigger.
Earlier in the week I cut and kitted up a Quilt of Valor for our group to make. Then yesterday another QOV kit joined that one. That means that just this week I've cut about 10 yards of fabric into kits from the QOV bins stored at my house. And that fabric is still overflowing the bins, but not by quite as much. LOL
I've been working on sorting and organizing things in my sewing room for about a month - a little bit at a time. The sorting piles have been growing, but this week I feel like I've made some meaningful progress, at least with the Quilt of Valor fabric. One task has been to collect all of the precuts, all of the purchased kits, all of the panels, and all of the orphan blocks - and get them organized TOGETHER. So, this 12" canvas cube now holds all of the precuts and purchased kits. The panels and orphan blocks will go into another cube.
And I'm finally getting the yardage organized too - one bin for all of the blue, and a separate bin for the reds and lighter patriotic prints. It will be so much easier to find what we need once this is done. Then I can put together a couple more kits for our members to make, using the yardage and some panels.

Amazing accomplishment on the QOV kits!!! The place mats are too cute!
The doll quilt is so cute - love the owls! Looks like you're doing a great job getting your QOV supplies organized. Your group will be able to sew up several quilts really quickly!
