How are your all doing? Are you in full swing finishing up gifts or decorating for Christmas?
It has been way too long since my previous blogpost and I know I have missed a lot in blogland. Working on Advent Calendars for my Etsy Shop has taken up a lot of time. They are a bit tedious to make with all its pockets. I love making them though!
I'm currently waiting for fabric to finish a custom order. The parcel is released from Customs and should be delivered today. It's a fun project; a birthday wall hanging with pockets to add gifts, made in bright rainbow colors. I also have another custom order to do; two small placemats. None are in a hurry getting it before Christmas, no stress.
What do you do while waiting for material to continue working on a project? Do you work on another specific project? Or do you do a little bit here and there? I have a heap with USO's to attack, but decided against it.
Instead, I'm doing this:

Per today; 23 blocks x 36 = 828 squares done the last week.
This is box #1. As you can see, almost empty.
I have three different Moda mini charm packs I haven't opened. All cute squares I may turn into table quilts
Box #2. All sorted on colors. Can't believe I have all that green and brown!
At the beginning of the year, the goal was to make one 36-patches each day. 'Of course' that didn't happen! lol I've been working on the 2.5" squares off and on Happy to say I have reduced the number of boxes and I think I have enough blocks for at least two twin quilts. Some blocks were UFO, you can see it here, picture #11 (and still is a UFO!)
Before I make the blocks, I pick one of each color and try not to get for example 3-4 of the same color next to each other. I know that is not needed, but I like doing it that way so there's a variation of light and dark squares.
Today I may start decorating for Christmas. I love Christmas / winter quilts on the walls, even if it is summer, hot and humid here.
