I'm back to sorting craft materials. But this is to make progress on the now 5 years late b'day quilt for Eldest, because I knew where the completed pieces were, but not necessarily where the necessary materials are. Today, I went through a small box of scraps (with assistance), and now I have piles of based on which project they will be useful. I've started the faff of ironing and making decisions about which bits are useful, as well as clearing out the shelf that some other bits had been dropped on, and grouping them. Pretty sure I know where I'm at for the next section, and I know where the templates are and where the pattern book is. So, here's to maybe getting a block a week done, which will have all the blocks done by the end of the year, and then maybe, just maybe, I'll have it assembled and ready to quilt in January.
Yesterday, I spent some time poking at craft books, trying to work out what it is that I want to do in a repair/revitalise project -- a tablecloth with a couple of 2cm cuts. Which is why I was going through the box in the first place! I have ideas, and I'm going to have to copy some patterns onto tracing paper, and then decide where I want them. I think that I'm going to do between three and five of the options, but simplify by dropping the shapes that are only there to make the blocks square.
I think there was something else as well, but I've forgotten.
