November 2022 Strips cutting report
Excuses, excuses, excuses.
This month I am just full of them!
But I made myself at least do SOME cutting. I had to - for this report. You know there is a reason I make myself do a report. I have to do some cutting as a minimum so I won’t be embarrassed. Of course, if I just skipped it, it wouldn’t be that big and probably noone would even think about it.
But I do.
So this month this is what I did.
Wait. Just a sec. When I am all caught up and don’t do a report - that’s great - all is dandy. When I’m not - which is how I am right now - it’s because I’ve been choosing to do other things. And that is bad. These are now sitting in my dining room and I’ve got to do something about them.
From left - 1.5”, 2”, and 2.5”
So here is what I did do.
2.5” strips - 8.49 lbs.
2” strips - 2.64 lbs.
1.5” strips - 1.54 lbs.
This makes the total for this year to date as on this table.
And since I started cutting and keeping track - this is where I am. I guess with these totals, I have now surpassed last year - which is something, I guess. However, for four months last year I was in the states due to helping mom after her bout with COVID.
Those years that are missing - I didn’t cut. And ever since I did that, I’ve been trying to make myself trim regularly. I had so many from those times I didn’t do anything that I was so overwhelmed and I had taken bags of scraps to my storage room at the church to be dealt with later! (BAD GIRL!) I did deal with those bags, however, and there are no more bags of scraps at the church. I was actually afraid I might just start collecting at the church. That actually SCARED me - and forced me to get going on them!
So here are a few of the quilts I’ve made with these - just a reminder of what you can do with them! This is the same design - in three different sizes. This is the pattern called Mosaic - and you can get the basic pattern here.
Thanks so much for coming along on this journey. I’m so eager to get back to using some of these 2.5” strips - I spent some time yesterday on the computer just coming up with some new ideas - just need what everyone needs - some time. :)
Have a great day, wherever you are reading this!
