March is quickly coming to an end and I'm quickly trying to get my quilt numbers up. My goal this year is one quilt quilted a day. So far, I've surpassed that goal, but I never know what each day will bring, so when the weekends come along, I quilt like crazy. Ignore the socks on the floor. Obviously, I don't do laundry like crazy :)
Even though purple isn't my favorite color, I do love this quilt. The border really makes the rest of the colors pop and I love the dark, diagonal stripe in the middle. This weekend I started really attacking some scraps and making up more quilt kits. I'm frustrated with my lack of organization and know if I could just have a system that works better, I could get more done. I'm constantly jumping from project to project. I have several people who would sew more quilt tops if I could have the kits ready for them. I have lots of fabric donated, but just don't get around to cutting efficiently. Everything is everywhere and so yesterday I spent a bit of time trying to move some things to make cutting and sorting more efficient. This is about the 73rd time I've tried re-arranging things and probably won't be the last. What I really need is a barn about the size of a football field with 46 full time workers and a chef to cook my meals, but until that happens, I will keep moving things until I find a system that works for me. If I can cut quilt kits while Rebecca the Robo quilter quilts, and then get the kits out, and make the backings out of the bigger pieces as the fabric is donated, I wouldn't have the big pile up in my front room. It all seems to make sense in my head, but in reality, my plan never seems to work. Too bad I have to go to work to make money so we can live :)
