The Process of Cleaning

If only I put things back every time I finished with them, I wouldn't end up with the messes in my sewing room and the rest of my home.  Oh well, at 50+ years on this planet, I don't think it's going to change much in the years to come.

I'm trying to find my cutting table, it's buried.  But when I try to sort/tidy/put away, I just keep coming across things that need to be finished.  So here's my clean up story. I pulled out a bag of green scraps and started pressing and sorting and purging.

No point in putting them back in a box or a bag, so I started cutting and organizing for another mock Pineapple block quilt from Bonnie Hunter.  This is the perfect quilt for me, I love the finished look, all the choices of layout and the ability to use up lots of odd duck fabrics.
The center of this block is 3 1/2" square and is perfect to use as a "leader/ender" and I like to make this quilt in stacks of 10 blocks.


I've got two blocks finished, only 98 more to go!


OK so I didn't get very far in finding my table............stay tuned.

I like the block and can see the possibilities with it. But I don't have enough scraps of one color to make a quilt. I would need to be pulling off the shelves and create an even bigger mess in the sewing room.

Ditto what Karen said. : )
I really like this pattern of Bonnie's and every time I see someone making it I tell myself I need to do it, too. I like the two color idea--just always end up adding more colors whenever I think I will make a 2 color quilt.

It is so easy to get distracted in the sewing room!

Aw, the cleaning and staying tidy. I think it's a loosing battle with creative types.
Those are going to be some nice green pinapples!

Love how you got organized with your greens! Is that a silverware organizer you're using?
