So mad at myself--nevermind, I found them. YEAAA!!!

SUCCESS!!! Finally after I told myself to forget about them, after all, I still had almost two weeks to make some more, I found them!!! Some how they had gotten mixed in with some of my clothing fabric that I'd been looking at to make a nightgown for a friend. When I relaxed and started putting fabric away, there they were. I'm so happy I could dance if I wasn't so tired. Now I'm excited about making more. YEA!!!!! Thank all of you for being so nice and concerned. I like the suggestion about notes on the computer. Since I'm here so much maybe I could remember to read them. My memory was fantastic (photographic) up until about 6 years ago when I went for way too long on way too little blood. Then after a couple of transfusions I had 7 surgeries and surgical proceedures in 2 1/2 months. The memory has come back some but not like it used to be. At this point I don't think it ever will.
I must have meant to put them away, started looking at the flannel and picked them both up at the same time.

Oh no!!! I hope you find them!!! They were so much fun!!!
This is what I do too, I try and visualize the last time I had them and then I slowly work my way forward with them. It works most of the time.
Good luck!!!!

I have trouble keeping track of things. I am trying a "new" to me system and hope it will actually work. I am putting completed blocks in 2 Gal zip-locks then into a dedicated plastic bin in the sewing "room"/area. I hang the bag with the stuff I am working on up on the bulletin board. I may have to rethink this and tweek it, but it is starting to work better. I am always amazed I can keep my lab space pristine and organized (down to labeling the cabinet and shelf something is located on) but my desk and house is a disaster. My mother-in-law swears by ziplocks and I've seen her cut, store and organize multiple quilts at a time. I figure she's been at it over 80 years so I should learn from the pro.
I hope this helps.
