Design Wall Monday 1/3/11

My design wall looks like this! Yes, same as yesterday. I will blame dd, she 'made' me clean my room!! lol I hope to get some more work done on it today, especially since I have to go to work again, tomorrow. 4 days off in a row sure has been great!

DD and I worked in my Bedroom again. WOW. It looks great! Went thru bookshelf (huge mess) and the dress drawers. Now when I find things in another part of the house, I can put them right where they belong. I just want to keep this up! We worked on the desk in the kitchen too. ewww. big mess there.

Ideas for the monochromatic quilts: Strips (on half square & other triangle either black or off white) Square, thin rectangle/w small square at corners 2-3 rows out, RR tie/4sq & HStriangle alternates)

Today is Jocelyn's last day home. She heads out tomorrow. I'll sure miss her!!

Can I borrow the "she made me clean my room" excuse? I didn't get near the sewing done I wanted to either! Fun quilt! I like the dark frames the 9 patch gives you.

I like the quilt. Might have to do something like that to bust my stash this summer!

So scrappy and fun!

Isn't it amazing how having a system can make putting things away so much easier? Since I've taught myself that putting things away immediately really only takes a few seconds in most cases once they have a "home", I do it all the time. It's the things that don't have a home that are the problem!
